49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) and cornerback Richard Sherman (calf) are expected to play Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Saturday night.
Breida, who re-aggravated a left ankle injury in Week 7, will be "limited," Schefter tweeted, citing a source.

Breida suffered a mid-ankle sprain in a Week 5 loss to the Cardinals, a source told NBC Sports Bay Area's Matt Maiocco. Since then, the second-year pro has been limited to 76 rushing yards on 19 attempts, including a rushing touchdown and a fumble.
Sherman told reporters earlier this week that he expected to play after missing a Week 7 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Both players returned to limited practice Friday.
The 49ers will be down one starter Sunday. Wide receiver Pierre Garçon (knee, shoulder) will not play in Arizona, but rookie Dante Pettis (knee) will return to the lineup.
