The 49ers on Wednesday got a small bit of good news in their practice report, although things still aren’t exactly promising on the injury front. George Kittle did return to practice as a full participant to open practice leading up to Week 4 though, which is a promising sign for his availability Sunday night against the Eagles.
Kittle sprained his knee in the first half of the 49ers’ season opener and missed Weeks 2 and 3. He returned as a limited participant in practice last week. Now he’s back to practicing in full.
Cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon was back in practice as well after missing last week’s game with a hamstring injury. Running back Jerick McKinnon suffered a rib injury in Week 3 and wound up practicing as well.
Jimmy Garoppolo and Raheem Mostert are still among those not practicing.
