Hyde Active for 49ers Vs. Cardinals

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Running back Carlos Hyde is back in uniform on Sunday for the 49ers.

Hyde will play for the first time since he sustained an injured AC joint in his right shoulder on Oct. 16. He missed two games on both sides of the bye week. Hyde enters the game against the Arizona Cardinals as the 49ers’ leading rusher.

DuJuan Harris, who started last week’s game against the New Orleans Saints, is expected to see considerable action on Sunday against the Cardinals. In two games, Harris has 98 yards rushing on 21 carries. He also has seven receptions for 101 yards and a touchdown.

Hyde is the 49ers’ leading rusher with 429 yards and six touchdowns on 109 carries. Hyde is just 41 yards shy of his season-season NFL high of 470 yards, which he gained last year in seven games.

Second-year running back Mike Davis, who started the first game that Hyde missed, was inactive for the first time this season.

Outside linebacker Aaron Lynch (ankle) and cornerback Rashard Robinson (knee) were ruled out of Sunday’s game due to injuries. Eli Harold is scheduled to make his sixth start of the season in place of Lynch, who served a four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s policy of substances of abuse to open the season.
