49ers' George Kittle Misses Practice, Status for Week 3 Uncertain

The San Francisco 49ers face more offensive challenges as tight end George Kittle is sidelined with a hamstring issue, joining other key players on the injury list.

  • George Kittle missed Thursday's practice due to hamstring tightness, casting doubt on his availability for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams.
  • The 49ers are already missing key offensive players Christian McCaffrey (calf/Achilles) and Deebo Samuel (calf strain), further stressing their lineup.
  • Cornerback Charvarius Ward also missed practice with hamstring and knee issues, adding to the team's injury woes.
  • If Kittle is unable to play, backup tight ends Eric Saubert and Jake Tonges are expected to step in, with potential call-ups from the practice squad for additional depth.
  • The 49ers, currently 1-1, are looking to avoid a second consecutive loss as they navigate these significant injuries.
