George Kittle and Charvarius Ward were both missing from Thursday's practice session, which puts their status for Week 3 against the Rams in question.
, Kittle is experiencing tightness in his hamstring. The 49ers are taking precautions to hold him out of practice, but his absence at this stage of the week puts his status for Week 3 against the Rams in question.
The 49ers and Rams play on Sunday in Los Angeles, and the game is likely to be without Christian McCaffrey, Cooper Kupp, Puka Nacua, Deebo Samuel, George Kittle, Steve Avila, Jonah Jackson, amongst others.If the 49ers were to play Kittle in Week 3, they run a massive risk of him worsening it. Instead of missing one game, he could end up missing multiple. That is something the 49ers have to avoid with Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel out for a while.
Ward is dealing with a hamstring/knee issue, so it's similar to Kittle, per Schefter. However, Ward wasn't mentioned as a player that is "likely" to be out against the Rams by Schefter. Either Ward's injury isn't deemed much of a concern, or Schefter let it slip his mind.Either way, the 49ers are stockpiling injuries at a rapid rate. This makes defeating the Rams much more difficult. And yet, it is still a game they should win without too much struggle.
