Both the Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers are expected to be close to full strength in this week’s NFC Championship Game.
However, there was one surprise on the 49ers’ injury report on Wednesday.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, tight end George Kittle didn’t practice due to an ankle injury.
It’s unknown what the exact injury is, and the decision to keep him out of practice could simply be precautionary. I’m sure 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan will be asked about Kittle’s status during his next press conference.
Of course, this is something to watch closely.
