Overview

  • San Francisco placed George Kittle on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, ruling him out for at least four games.
  • Brock Purdy is day-to-day with toe and left shoulder injuries, the toe deemed more concerning, leaving his availability for the Saints in question.
  • Mac Jones would start if Purdy cannot go, and Kyle Shanahan said the team may sign another quarterback depending on Purdy’s recovery.
  • Jauan Jennings’ MRI and CT results were clean, and he is considered day-to-day with a chance to play in Week 2.
  • The 49ers re-signed Kendrick Bourne on a one-year deal and will lean on Luke Farrell and Jake Tonges at tight end as they also evaluate options at kicker after Jake Moody’s misses.
