49ers TE George Kittle (foot) did not practice on Wednesday. HC Kyle Shanahan labeled him "day to day" on Monday, but Kittle's availability for Sunday night's game vs. the Cowboys is up in the air. We'll see if he gets back on the field tomorrow.
49ers TE George Kittle is "day to day" with a sprained foot, HC Kyle Shanahan said Monday. It sounds like Kittle has a decent chance to be available for Sunday night's game vs. the Cowboys, but we'll keep a close eye on him this week. TE Eric Saubert caught both of his targets for 41 yards as San Francisco's lead TE when Kittle missed Week 3.
49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk tore the ACL and MCL in his right knee in the Week 7 loss to the Chiefs, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "There may be other damage," Rapoport adds. Aiyuk will miss the rest of the 2024 season. And any "other damage" to his knee could impact his availability for the start of the 2025 campaign. We'll keep you updated on Aiyuk's diagnosis and timeline for return.
Niners TE George Kittle led the team in targets (7), receptions (6), and receiving yards (92) in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. That marked his sixth straight game with at least 4 receptions and 40 yards. That's Kittle's longest such streak since 2018.
49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said after Sunday's loss to the Chiefs that "we're worried" WR Brandon Aiyuk has a torn ACL. "Not confirmed yet," Shanahan added. We should get an update on Aiyuk tomorrow, but a torn ACL would end his 2024 season. His absence would mean target boosts for WR Deebo Samuel and TE George Kittle -- and put WR Jauan Jennings back into weekly starter consideration.
49ers WR Jauan Jennings (hip) missed practice all week and is out for Sunday's game vs. the Chiefs. HC Kyle Shanahan said Friday that WR Ricky Pearsall will make his debut this weekend, but we can't imagine he'll play a big role after missing most of training camp and then getting shot in late August. Jennings' absence is a slight boost to WR Deebo Samuel, WR Brandon Aiyuk, and TE George Kittle.
Niners TE George Kittle tied WR Brandon Aiyuk for the team lead in targets (12) and receptions (8) in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals. He tallied 64 yards and caught the team's lone TD pass. No other 49er caught more than one pass for the game.
49ers TE George Kittle (ribs) is active for today’s game vs. the Cardinals. He only got in a limited practice on Friday and was listed as questionable. But Kittle played through this injury in the second half of last week’s game and should be ready for something close to his usual role today.
49ers TE George Kittle (ribs) is expected to play vs. the Cardinals today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Kittle is listed as questionable after getting in just a limited practice on Friday. But he was able to play through this injury in the second half of last week’s game and will be out there again today. There's some risk of re-injury here if Kittle takes a big hit, but he belongs in basically all fantasy lineups.
49ers TE George Kittle (ribs) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Cardinals. He only got in a limited practice on Friday. Kittle played through this injury in the second half of last week’s game, so we’re tenatively expecting him to play against Arizona. But we’ll look for further updates on his status. We won’t get San Francisco’s inactives until a little after 2:30 pm ET on Sunday.
49ers TE George Kittle (ribs) did not practice on Wednesday. He played through this issue in the second half of last week's win over the Patriots, so we're expecting him to be available for Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals. But his status bears monitoring over the next few days.

Update: Kittle returned for the second half.
49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) is not listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Patriots. He practiced all week, including a full session on Friday. It all suggests that Kittle is ready for a full slate of snaps this weekend. Get him back into fantasy lineups.
49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. That should put him on track to play vs. the Patriots this weekend, but we'll see how Kittle progresses over the next few days. Kittle's return would dent WR Jauan Jennings' upside, although he'll still be in play as a WR3 as long as Deebo Samuel remains out.

49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game vs. the Rams. He didn't seem close to playing in this one after experiencing hamstring soreness starting on Thursday. We'll see if he can make it back for Week 4's game against the Patriots. Eric Saubert figures to operate as San Francisco's lead TE tomorrow, but he'd be a desperation fantasy play.
49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for this weekend’s game vs. the Rams. Kittle showed up on Thursday with a sore hamstring and missed the final two practices of the week. The Niners will be down Kittle, RB Christian McCaffrey, and WR Deebo Samuel on Sunday. They’ll need to lean on RB Jordan Mason and WR Brandon Aiyuk. WR Jauan Jennings should also see a boosted role. TE Eric Saubert looks like the Kittle replacement but would be a desperation fantasy play. The 30-year-old owns 38 career catches.
