Overview

  • Head coach Kyle Shanahan said George Kittle will return to practice Wednesday with the hope he can play Sunday night against the Falcons.
  • The All-Pro tight end has missed five games on injured reserve after a Week 1 hamstring injury at Seattle.
  • Shanahan offered no firm timeline on Brock Purdy’s toe recovery, saying the quarterback could practice and “do a little bit more” after limited side work last week.
  • Linebacker Fred Warner will have season-ending surgery Tuesday for a dislocated and broken ankle, and he shared a message of gratitude and resolve on social media.
  • Additional roster notes: Yetur Gross-Matos remains out, Kevin Givens and rookie Jordan Watkins are set to practice toward returns, and replacement TE Jake Tonges has produced 25 catches for 224 yards and three touchdowns as San Francisco sits 4-2 atop the NFC West.
