Overview

  • Left tackle Trent Williams did not practice with a right hamstring injury from the first snap vs. the Bears, and Kyle Shanahan said he still has a shot to play.
  • Christian McCaffrey missed practice with back stiffness, called the issue not serious, and John Lynch said he expects the running back to be ready.
  • George Kittle returned as a limited participant after an ankle sprain, with Shanahan urging caution and Lynch saying he would be very surprised if Kittle did not play.
  • Fullback Kyle Juszczyk (hip) and defensive lineman Keion White (groin) did not practice, while Ricky Pearsall and Yetur Gross-Matos were limited and Renardo Green practiced fully.
  • Saturday’s game at Levi’s Stadium decides the NFC West and the conference’s No. 1 seed with a first-round bye, and the short week is limiting full-speed work.
