Overview

• The 49ers opened George Kittle’s 21‑day IR return window and he practiced on a limited basis, with team hope he can be activated for Sunday night against the Falcons.
• Brock Purdy practiced for the first time since his Week 4 toe setback but was more limited than Mac Jones, leaving the starting quarterback decision for Week 7 unresolved.
• Wednesday’s report listed Ricky Pearsall (knee), Skyy Moore (ankle), Yetur Gross‑Matos (knee/hamstring) and Dominick Puni (knee) as non‑participants, while Kevin Givens, Jauan Jennings, Renardo Green, Kalia Davis and Jordan Watkins were limited.
• Fred Warner underwent ankle surgery Tuesday; the team says the operation went well and it officially ends his 2025 season, with Tatum Bethune set to take over defensive signal‑calling duties.
• Coaches are evaluating depth roles, including giving rookie Jordan Watkins a look at punt returner if Moore cannot play, and reporting indicates the team is exploring defensive trade options.
