The 49ers on Friday wound up having plenty of good news on their injury report just one day after it looked like things might be heading the wrong direction.
They have just two players listed on the status report for Sunday’s game and a slew of players who were limited or non-participants at various points of the are all set to go for the season opener in Pittsburgh.
Tight end George Kittle (groin) and cornerback Charvarius Ward (heel) are both questionable for Week 1.
Kittle has been battling his hip injury since late in the preseason and had a full week of limited participation.
Ward’s week was less straightforward. He practiced in full Wednesday, missed Thursday, then was limited Friday. It’s good news that he didn’t miss Friday as well, but a sudden heel injury cropping up during a Week 1 practice is not great for San Francisco’s top cornerback.
No other players were listed on the injury report which means the 49ers should be in mostly good shape health-wise for Sunday’s 10:00am PT kickoff in Pittsburgh.
