Kittle was dealing with a knee issue, while Breida suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 5 at home versus the Arizona Cardinals.
Neither player appeared on San Francisco's Week 6 inactive report, which is as follows:
- WR Dante Pettis
- OG Joshua Garnett
- DT Jullian Taylor
- OT Shon Coleman
- WR Trent Taylor
- TE Cole Wick
- NT D.J. Jones
Earlier in the day, the Niners promoted tight end Ross Dwelley from the practice squad and released defensive lineman Ryan Delaire. This led to some speculation Kittle might be inactive for the contest, although Wick being designated inactive instead pretty much sums up the transaction.
The 49ers will need both Kittle and Breida to perform well under the bright lights at Lambeau Field, especially considering the team has to contend with future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Keeping Rodgers off the field will be a tough test, meaning head coach Kyle Shanahan's top weapons will need to be key contributors during the game.
San Francisco and Green Bay kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET on Monday Night Football.
