Overview

• ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Kittle will go on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, making him ineligible until at least Week 6 vs. the Buccaneers.
• Coach Kyle Shanahan had said Monday that Kittle would miss “a few weeks,” with NFL Network reporting a 3–5 week timetable.
• Purdy sustained a left-shoulder and toe injury in the opener, with Shanahan calling the toe the bigger concern and listing the quarterback day-to-day for the Saints game.
• Mac Jones would start if Purdy cannot play, and Shanahan indicated the team could sign another quarterback depending on Purdy’s progress.
• Jauan Jennings’ MRI was clean as the team awaited a CT scan, Jake Tonges and Luke Farrell are the immediate tight end options, and veteran Kendrick Bourne was signed to bolster receiver depth.
