The 49ers revealed their status reports Friday for their injured players ahead of Sunday’s visit to the Los Angeles Rams.
George Kittle #85 of the San Francisco 49ers catches the ball for a touchdown as Taylor Rapp #24 of the Los Angeles Rams defends during the fourth quarter at SoFi Stadium on October 30, 2022 in Inglewood, California. SANTA CLARA – George Kittle, Deebo Samuel, and Christian McCaffrey have all scored multiple touchdowns in the 49ers’ recent visits to SoFi Stadium.
Samuel has not practiced since Sunday’s late calf strain and is expected to miss two weeks. McCaffrey must miss at least three more games while on Injured Reserve, with the potential to sit out more until his Achilles tendinitis fades. Through Kittle’s four all-time appearances at SoFi Stadium, he has yet to produce more than 39 yards, which he did in 2022 on three catches with one for a touchdown. Eric Saubert likely would start in place of Kittle and Jake Tonges should see more action after just two offensive snaps through two games. Tight ends Brayden Willis and Mason Pline are candidates to get elevated Saturday from the practice squad.
Asked if he feels pressure to cover the 49ers’ injured stars, Mason said his mentality is simply: “Next man up. Just ready to go.”
