The San Francisco 49ers injury report will include some prominent players this week as they prepare for the Carolina Panthers. Kyle Shanahan told the media on Wednesday that tight end George Kittle will be limited in practice due to a hamstring injury. He suffered the injury during training camp, and this is an aggravation of that injury.
The 49ers tight end depth chart currently includes Kittle, Logan Paulsen, and Garrett Celek. We don’t know Kittle’s availability for Sunday, and hamstring injuries can flair up at any moment. It makes sense to play it safe.
