Juszczyk (illness) is absent from the 49ers' injury report ahead of Monday's matchup with the Lions. Juszczyk popped up on the team's injury report Friday due to an illness. However, it looks like he has moved on from the issue and should be good to go Monday assuming he avoids any setbacks.

Juszczyk (illness) didn't practice Friday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. The veteran fullback popped up on San Francisco's injury report Friday as a non-participant in practice due to an illness. It's unclear if the ailment is severe enough to impact his availability for Monday night's matchup against the Lions. Juszczyk typically sees limited touches on offense, though he could get a few more than usual in Week 17 with Christian McCaffrey (knee), Jordan Mason (ankle) and Elijah Mitchell (hamstring) all sidelined.

Juszczyk played 27 of the 49ers' 54 snaps on offense and went without a carry or target in Thursday's 12-6 loss to the Rams. Though he's seen a slight uptick in snaps over the past two games with both Christian McCaffrey (knee) and Jordan Mason (ankle) out for the season, Juszczyk hasn't benefited from a usage standpoint. The veteran fullback has managed just one touch (a three-yard reception) in those two games while rookie Isaac Guerendo has dominated the opportunities out of the backfield. For the season, Juszczyk has carried four times for 20 yards and a touchdown to go with 15 receptions for 122 yards on 23 targets over 14 games.

Juszczyk went without a carry or target while playing 25 of the 49ers' 64 offensive snaps in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Buccaneers. With tailback Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) making his season debut in Week 10, the 49ers didn't waste any touches on Juszczyk, who had carried the ball three times for 21 yards and a touchdown to go with four receptions for 16 yards on eight targets across the previous three contests. While Juszczyk should continue to have a regular role on offense every week, he'll be deployed primarily as a blocker and only occasionally as a route runner whenever he's on the field.

Juszczyk (shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice session. Juszczyk is considered day-to-day with a shoulder injury he picked up during Sunday's 30-13 win over the Patriots. That didn't appear to hold him back during Wednesday's practice session, and barring any setbacks, he should be good to go for Week 5 against the Cardinals. Juszczyk has caught seven passes (on 10 targets) for 77 yards through the first four games of the regular season.
