    The San Francisco 49ers are aiming to record back-to-back wins for the first time this season, and will have the services of both George Kittle and Fred Warner as they host the Arizona Cardinals .

    Tight End Kittle (ribs) and linebacker Warner (ankle) were each listed as questionable for the Week 5 matchup.

    The All-Pros each missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday but their for the final session of the week on Friday raised hopes of them featuring in the NFC West clash.

    And their participation was confirmed 90 minutes before kickoff, with neither listed among the 49ers' inactives.

    Wide receiver Chris Conley (oblique) is among the inactives, however. The veteran was listed as doubtful and does indeed miss out along with fellow wideout Jacob Cowing, who was listed as questionable with a shoulder issue. The 49ers elevated Trent Taylor from the practice squad on Saturday as insurance at the bottom of the receiver depth chart. He will likely return punts with Cowing out.

    Meanwhile cornerback Isaac Yiadom will play having been listed as questionable with a thigh injury that led him to miss Friday's practice. With the extreme heat in the Bay Area , however, he may split time at the third cornerback role with rookie second-rounder Renardo Green.

    49ers inactives

    • QB Joshua Dobbs
    • LB Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles
    • WR Chris Conley
    • WR Jacob Cowing
    • OL Ben Bartch
    • CB Darrell Luter Jr.
