Overview
- Kyle Shanahan said Kittle will miss a few weeks with a hamstring strain, with multiple reports pegging the timeline at roughly 3–5 weeks and injured reserve under consideration.
- Purdy is day-to-day with a toe injury considered more concerning than his left shoulder issue, and Mac Jones would start against the Saints if Purdy cannot play as the team considers adding a backup.
- Jauan Jennings’ shoulder MRI was clean and further testing indicated no serious damage, leaving him with a chance to play in Week 2 pending practice participation.
- With Kittle out, Jake Tonges stepped in and caught the game-winning touchdown in Sunday’s 17–13 win over the Seahawks.
- San Francisco re-signed receiver Kendrick Bourne, and Shanahan said the club is reviewing kicker Jake Moody’s status after two missed field goals, including one that was blocked.
