The San Francisco 49ers may face another setback on offense as All-Pro tight end George Kittle sat out practice due to a sore hamstring. This adds to the team’s injury woes, having already lost All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey and star receiver Deebo Samuel to injuries. Additionally, cornerback Charvarius Ward also missed practice with a sore hamstring and knee, making both players questionable for Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams.

Coach Kyle Shanahan mentioned in a radio interview that Kittle and Ward experienced soreness after a practice session and were held out as a precaution. Shanahan expressed hope that the players would be available for Sunday’s game but emphasized the need for others to step up if necessary. If Kittle is unable to play, the 49ers would be missing three key offensive players who collectively contributed significantly last season.

Despite the potential absence of key players, the 49ers have seen promising performances from Jordan Mason, who has excelled in filling in for McCaffrey with impressive rushing yards and touchdowns in the first two games. The team still has second-team All-Pro Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings at receiver to provide depth and playmaking abilities.

Quarterback Brock Purdy expressed confidence in the team’s depth and coaching staff, highlighting the need for everyone to fulfill their roles effectively. Although facing challenges due to injuries, the 49ers remain focused on executing their game plan and adapting to the situation as needed.
