49ers coach Kyle Shanahan spoke with San Francisco’s KNBR radio on Friday ahead of Sunday’s season-opener against the Bears.
Given tight end George Kittle’s appearance on the injury report this week, there were plenty of questions asked about his status for Sunday’s game.
“I don’t know yet,” Shanahan said when asked if Kittle would play.
“I’m really hoping it will be alright. I’m trying to think positively on it. He didn’t end up getting to go yesterday, but they’ll hit him hard [today]. They’ll do it all morning and hopefully he’ll be able to get out there and do some red zone work today.
