The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Week 4 contest against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
George Kittle missed yesterday's practice and didn't participate today either. The tight end is dealing with some calf soreness following the team's Week 3 loss to the Green Bay Packers.
"I mean,
he should be alright this week," head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters yesterday. "Just sorer today than we expected, and we'll take it day-by-day now."
Cornerback
Josh Norman suffered a lung contusion against the Packers. He also missed his second consecutive day of practice
but was seen stretching and sprinting on a side field. Running back
Elijah Mitchell, who suffered a shoulder injury during Week 2, was limited and wore a blue no-contact jersey again.
The 49ers will hold one more practice tomorrow at 12:05 p.m. PT.
Below are Thursday's practice participation reports for both the 49ers and Seahawks, which were provided by the 49ers Communications staff.

49ers-Cardinals Injury Report: Jimmy Garoppolo, Trent Williams, George Kittle don't practice
The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Week 5 contest against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
Today's practice report looked very much like what head coach Kyle Shanahan previewed beforehand. There was no Jimmy Garoppolo, as the quarterback continues to recover from a calf injury.
"I mean, it could go up to game time," Garoppolo said before practice about Sunday's game status. "We've done it before up to game time. And it's really just about getting the mental reps while I can out there today, see where I'm at tomorrow and everything."
There was no Trent Williams, who, like Garoppolo, was injured this past weekend against the Seattle Seahawks.

49ers-Cardinals Injury Report: Jimmy Garoppolo, George Kittle don't practice; Trent Williams returns
The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Week 5 contest against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
Things are starting to trend towards rookie quarterback Trey Lance making his first NFL start. Jimmy Garoppolo missed his second consecutive practice after suffering a calf injury during Week 4. That makes it unlikely the veteran starter will be healthy enough to lead the offense against the Cardinals.
Tight end George Kittle also missed his second consecutive practice. He is dealing with the same calf injury that sidelined him for most of last week. However, he still played this past weekend against the Seattle Seahawks.
If Lance does start, he will probably have left tackle Trent Williams helping keep
49ers-Cardinals Injury Report: Jimmy Garoppolo ruled out for Sunday; George Kittle doubtful
The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Week 5 contest against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo did not practice this week and has been ruled "out" for Sunday, which means fans will see rookie Trey Lance in his first career NFL start. Garoppolo suffered a calf injury during Week 4's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The hope was that he would take part in today's practice and test his right leg. That didn't happen.
Tight end George Kittle also did not practice this week and is listed as "doubtful." He is also dealing with a calf injury. It's the same injury that kept him out of practice for most of last week. However, Kittle was able to play this past weekend. We'll have to wait to see if
49ers' Kyle Shanahan reveals what went wrong with George Kittle's injury
George Kittle was not able to practice last week. Despite being listed as "doubtful," there remained hope that the San Francisco 49ers tight end might be able to play this past Sunday in rookie quarterback Trey Lance's first NFL start.
"Everything's focused on this Sunday, and George is working his tail off to be there," general manager John Lynch said last week. "If not, it's nice that we do have a bye, and we're hopeful that time can allow him to heal enough to really lick this thing and put it behind us so he can get back in there at practice."
Kittle won't return after the bye against the Indianapolis Colts. He won't return for the next game,
