Shanahan: It’s “not guaranteed” that Kittle will play on Sunday

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan joined the Murph & Mac show on KNBR Friday morning to discuss a few injuries as well as the Jimmy Garoppolo/New England “drama.”

Shanahan said, “I hope so. It’s not guaranteed. We were hoping it would heal a little more.” Kyle didn’t sound too optimistic. Kittle is dealing with a calf issue that’s prevented him from practicing the past couple of days.

Again, players that don’t practice on Wednesday and Thursday generally don’t play on Sunday. But, again, George Kittle is one of the few outliers. So if Kittle can go, he’ll play.
