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.
The 49ers hope to get their All-Pro tight end,
George Kittle, back in time for Sunday's game. Kittle suffered a groin strain last week and missed the Week 1 contest against the Chicago Bears.
"He's made progress, so hopefully, we'll have better luck this week," head coach Kyle Shanahan said before practice.
Offensive lineman Daniel Brunskill continues to miss practices after suffering a setback with his hamstring injury last week.
"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."
The 49ers gave tackle
Trent Williams a veteran day off.
Quarterback Trey Lance said he woke up on Monday morning with a sore neck but didn't sound too concerned about it.
"I felt fine," Lance said. "My neck, honestly, was a little sore. That was the first thing because I don't get hit at all throughout the year. So guys kind of get to build up, get their necks ready for the season. My neck was the biggest thing, but other than that, I feel good."
Below are Wednesday's practice participation reports for both the 49ers and Seahawks, which were provided by the 49ers Communications staff.
