Lenoir and Renardo Green (back) were among the two 49ers cornerbacks not practicing on Wednesday. Fellow cornerback Upton Stout (shoulder/neck) was a limited participant. With the slew of secondary injuries, the Cowboys wideouts will have an easier chance at chunk gains against San Francisco for Week 10.

Lenoir entered the weekend with a questionable tag due to a calf injury. He suffered the injury in Thursday’s practice but is active after experiencing some tightness. The 49ers declared RB Jordan James, WR Jordan Watkins, OL Connor Colby, DL Clelin Ferrell, DL Kevin Givens, and CB Eli Apple inactive for Week 11 against the Cardinals.

All five players with injuries were ruled out on Friday. Deommodore Lenoir (quad) and Luke Gifford (hamstring) are playing on questionable tags. James and West are healthy scratches.

It seems like Lenoir has been able to shake the hip irritation that was bothering him earlier in training camp. The veteran should be considered healthy as things stand heading into the preseason games.

Both of the 49ers’ starting perimeter cornerbacks are now injured. Fellow starter, CB Renardo Green, is “aiming” to return for the 49ers’ second preseason game as he rehabs a hamstring strain suffered last Sunday.

The cause for the arrest varies between sources. Members of the Los Angeles Police Department reportedly stopped a group of people, which included Lenoir, and observed a visible firearm located inside a parked car. The reason for the initial stop is unclear. Officers asked for the car keys, at which point an unidentified individual passed them to Lenoir, who passed them to another individual shortly after that, apparently rejecting the officers’ request. Lenoir was then arrested and booked before being released.

Lenoir appeared to bang knees with one of the Packers’ offensive players. Trainers tended to him for a moment on-field before eventually escorting Lenoir to the sideline. We tentatively expect Lenoir to return.
