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.
Today's biggest injury-related news is the return of tight end George Kittle to practice. He had missed the past five practices, including two this week, after suffering a groin strain on September 5. Kittle missed the 49ers' Week 1 matchup against the Chicago Bears. While he is officially listed as "questionable" for Sunday, his return to practice bodes well for his chances of a return.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said there is more optimism regarding Kittle's chances of playing compared to last week. The team will continue to evaluate the situation and his status will be a game-time decision.
"He's healthier seven days later than he was last week when he was questionable [to play in Week 1]," Shanahan said.
Offensive lineman Daniel Brunskill has been ruled out for the second consecutive game. He is attempting to return from a hamstring injury suffered during the preseason.
Below are the official injury reports for the 49ers and Seahawks, provided by the 49ers Communications staff. Also included are Friday's practice participation reports.
