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.
