The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Week 2 contest against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
Tight end
George Kittle missed his fifth consecutive practice since suffering a groin strain on September 5, decreasing his chances of playing on Sunday.
Offensive lineman Daniel Brunskill also continues to be sidelined as he attempts to return from a hamstring injury. On Wednesday, head coach Kyle Shanahan didn't sound too optimistic about Brunskill's chances of playing against the Seahawks.
"We were thinking he'd be ready for Week 1, and
he had that setback," Shanahan said. "So he'll be later in this week, but I'm not sure yet. [His chances of playing are] not good right now."
Tackle
Trent Williams returned to practice after the 49ers gave him a veteran day off on Wednesday.
Below are Thursday's practice participation reports for both the 49ers and Seahawks, which were provided by the 49ers Communications staff.

49ers tight end George Kittle worked up a quick rapport with quarterback Brock Purdy last season, as the duo connected on seven touchdowns in the final four games of the regular season.
In two games so far this year, Kittle (six catches, 49 yards) has taken a backseat in the passing game to players like Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel. Still, he's impressed Al Sacco and Brian Renick of the 49ers Webzone "No Huddle" podcast from Audacy Sports with his series of pulverizing

The only other player who was banged up in the Week 3 contest is wide receiver Deebo Samuel. The 49ers initially feared a rib injury, but
