The San Francisco 49ers on Wednesday announced a slate of roster moves that included three practice windows opening for players on injured lists, and four additions to the practice squad which underwent some construction Tuesday.
Tight end George Kittle, kicker Robbie Gould and running back Jeff Wilson Jr. were all back on the practice field after absences because of stints on injured lists.
Kittle and Gould both went on IR prior to Week 5, which means they’ve missed the requisite three games and are now eligible to return to practice. Kittle injured his calf early in the year and tried playing through it before it caught up with him in the team’s Week 4 loss to the Seahawks. Gould got hurt prior to that same game in warm ups.
Wilson has been out for a lot longer because of a torn meniscus he suffered in May after a preseason off-field workout. His return to practice doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll be back in action Sunday like Kittle and Gould are on track to be. Wilson will need to get back into football shape since he hasn’t played in a game since January. He has a three-week window and may need all three weeks before returning.
