The 49ers’ are working on sharpening parts of their game but won’t get specific about the Chicago Bears until the cut to 53.
SANTA CLARA — The 49ers were back at practice Sunday, making plans behind mostly closed doors as to the makeup of the 53-man roster which will play in Chicago for their regular-season opener against the Bears on Sept. 11.
Returnees included cornerback Charvarius Ward and running back Elijah Mitchell. Both were out with hamstring strains with an eye on Week 1. Ward was injured on Aug. 10. Mitchell two days later. Still out are reserve lineman Daniel Brunskill and right tackle Mike McGlinchey . “I think we’re going to spend the next couple of days focusing on us,” tight end George Kittle said. “We have 15 days left. I think we’ll have plenty of time after these next couple of days.”
“I think there’s a lot of importance in how we make plays, get open for Trey, make him more comfortable and make him want to throw us the football,” Kittle said.
