49ers TE George Kittle (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Cowboys. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. We’re tentatively expecting Kittle to play in this one but will hopefully get further updates on his status on Sunday morning.
49ers GM John Lynch said in a Friday morning radio spot that WR Jauan Jennings (hip) is doubtful to play vs. the Cowboys on Sunday night. Jennings didn't practice on Wednesday or Thursday. We're still waiting to see if WR Deebo Samuel will be able to play against Dallas, but WR Ricky Pearsall figures to see the field plenty in that one with Jennings and WR Brandon Aiyuk out.
49ers TE George Kittle (foot) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. That's a good sign for his availability for Sunday night's game vs. the Cowboys. We'll see how Kittle is listed on Friday's final injury report.
49ers TE George Kittle (foot) did not practice on Wednesday. HC Kyle Shanahan labeled him "day to day" on Monday, but Kittle's availability for Sunday night's game vs. the Cowboys is up in the air. We'll see if he gets back on the field tomorrow.
49ers TE George Kittle is "day to day" with a sprained foot, HC Kyle Shanahan said Monday. It sounds like Kittle has a decent chance to be available for Sunday night's game vs. the Cowboys, but we'll keep a close eye on him this week. TE Eric Saubert caught both of his targets for 41 yards as San Francisco's lead TE when Kittle missed Week 3.
49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk tore the ACL and MCL in his right knee in the Week 7 loss to the Chiefs, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "There may be other damage," Rapoport adds. Aiyuk will miss the rest of the 2024 season. And any "other damage" to his knee could impact his availability for the start of the 2025 campaign. We'll keep you updated on Aiyuk's diagnosis and timeline for return.
Niners rookie WR Ricky Pearsall made his NFL debut Sunday against the Chiefs and wound up leading the team in routes. Pearsall ran a route on 86.5% of QB Brock Purdy's dropbacks. That probably wasn't the plan going in, but San Francisco watched WR Deebo Samuel leave with an illness after just four plays and lost WR Brandon Aiyuk to a likely ACL tear in the second quarter.
Niners TE George Kittle led the team in targets (7), receptions (6), and receiving yards (92) in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. That marked his sixth straight game with at least 4 receptions and 40 yards. That's Kittle's longest such streak since 2018.
49ers RB Christian McCaffrey is on track to return on November 10th against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 10. There have been no setbacks with his Achilles tendinitis and the 49ers are planning for him to return in about three weeks.
49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said after Sunday's loss to the Chiefs that "we're worried" WR Brandon Aiyuk has a torn ACL. "Not confirmed yet," Shanahan added. We should get an update on Aiyuk tomorrow, but a torn ACL would end his 2024 season. His absence would mean target boosts for WR Deebo Samuel and TE George Kittle -- and put WR Jauan Jennings back into weekly starter consideration.
49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk injured his right knee in the second quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Chiefs. He headed straight into the blue medical tent. San Francisco is already without WR Jauan Jennings (hip) today, while WR Deebo Samuel is playing very limited snaps due to his illness. We'll update Aiyuk's status when we know more.
Update: Aiyuk was carted to the locker room and has been ruled out.
49ers Ks Jake Moody (ankle) and Matthew Wright (shoulder, back) are out for Sunday’s game vs. the Chiefs. San Francisco figures to elevate former Packer Anders Carlson from the practice squad to kick against Kansas City. Carlson made 82% of his FGs and 87% of his XPs for Green Bay last year.
49ers WR Jauan Jennings (hip) missed practice all week and is out for Sunday's game vs. the Chiefs. HC Kyle Shanahan said Friday that WR Ricky Pearsall will make his debut this weekend, but we can't imagine he'll play a big role after missing most of training camp and then getting shot in late August. Jennings' absence is a slight boost to WR Deebo Samuel, WR Brandon Aiyuk, and TE George Kittle.
49ers WR Jauan Jennings (hip) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. He's seemingly in danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Chiefs. Jennings' absence would mean slight target projection boosts for WRs Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk. We'll update Jennings' status again tomorrow.
49ers WR Ricky Pearsall returned to practice on Monday, 44 days after being shot in an attempted robbery. The Niners have 21 days to move Pearsall onto the active roster or place him on season-ending IR. San Francisco has a Week 9 bye, so Week 10 might be Pearsall's most likely debut. He'd probably need injuries to two of Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, Jauan Jennings, and George Kittle to be a real fantasy factor this season. The rookie can be left on the waiver wire in most redraft leagues.
49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk caught just two balls for 37 yards in the Week 6 win over the Seahawks. QB Brock Purdy threw it just 28 times in this one, but Aiyuk's four targets were tied with FB Kyle Juszczyk for fourth on the team behind TE George Kittle, WR Deebo Samuel, and WR Jauan Jennings.
49ers QB Brock Purdy completed 18 of 28 passes (64%) for 255 yards (9.1 YPA), three TDs, and 0 INTs in Thursday night's win over the Seahawks. Purdy's first score came early in the second quarter. He connected down the left sideline with WR Deebo Samuel, who dodged one defender before out-racing another for a 76-yard score. Purdy's other two TDs went to TE George Kittle from 10 and nine yards out. Purdy impressed with his mobility throughout this game, buying extra time to throw and running four times for 19 yards.
49ers K Jake Moody (ankle) is out for Thursday night's game vs. the Seahawks. Matthew Wright, who owns a career 85% FG conversion rate, will kick in Moody's place. With the Niners holding the week's third-highest implied total at 26.5 points, Wright is a fine replacement for Moody in fantasy lineups.
49ers K Jake Moody is expected to miss multiple weeks with a high-ankle sprain suffered in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, HC Kyle Shanahan said. Moody can be dropped from all fantasy rosters. We'll see who the 'Niners bring in as his replacement. They have a short turnaround to Thursday night's game vs. the Seahawks.
Niners TE George Kittle tied WR Brandon Aiyuk for the team lead in targets (12) and receptions (8) in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals. He tallied 64 yards and caught the team's lone TD pass. No other 49er caught more than one pass for the game.
