The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Week 2 contest against the New York Jets on Sunday at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Tight end George Kittle missed his third practice of the week and has been ruled "out" of Sunday's game due to a knee injury. Kittle suffered the injury just before halftime during Week 1's loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Cornerback Jason Verrett is the only other 49ers player who has officially been ruled "out" — other than those on injury lists.
Defensive end Dee Ford experienced some neck stiffness this week and underwent further tests. He has been listed as "questionable" to play against the Jets.
On the Jets' side, wide receiver Jamison Crowder has been ruled out due to a hamstring injury. That is significant considering the 49ers are going to be without veteran cornerback Richard Sherman for at least the next three games.
Below are the official injury reports for the 49ers and Jets, which were provided by the 49ers Communications staff. Also included are Friday's practice participation reports.
