The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for the NFC Championship Game against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. On Thursday, the team held its second of three full practices this week, despite the rainy weather.
There was some concern on Wednesday surrounding the status of All-Pro tight end George Kittle, who sat out that practice due to what was described as "ankle soreness." Kittle was a full participant during Thursday's practice.
"The soreness did (surprised me) a little bit," head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters. "That's why I didn't bring it up in here before practice. But, I knew he had some wear and tear from the game, was a little sorer than we thought before practice. So, we held him out."
