49ers 'likely' without yet another star Sunday against Rams

Yet another San Francisco 49ers star seems set to miss Sunday’s matchup with the Los Angeles Rams.

Tight end George Kittle is “likely” to miss Sunday’s game, ESPN insider Adam Schefter said on X on Thursday morning.

Already without running back Christian McCaffrey (Achilles and calf injuries) for a month — or more — and wide receiver Deebo Samuel (calf strain) for at least this week, it's looking more and more like the 49ers will be down another key offensive player after Kittle missed his second straight practice on Friday afternoon with a hamstring issue that popped up earlier in the week.
