The San Francisco 49ers may be at something close to full strength on Sunday when they host the New England Patriots at Levi’s Stadium.
Two notable names were not included on the official injury report. Quarterback Brock Purdy is good to go after dealing with some back soreness leading into Week 3. Tight end George Kittle will also play after missing Week 3 with a hamstring injury.
Here’s who is on the injury report:
Out
DT Javon Hargrave (triceps)
LB Curtis Robinson (knee)
Head coach Kyle Shanahan indicated Robinson tore his ACL in Thursday’s practice. Expect both Hargrave and Robinson to go on season-ending IR. The 49ers would have three open roster spots if they don’t fill them immediately.
Questionable
WR Deebo Samuel (calf)
LB Dee Winters (ankle)
DT Jordan Elliott (foot)
S Talanoa Hufanga (ankle)
LT Trent Williams (toe)
A questionable designation is actually good for Samuel after he was ruled out early for Week 3. Shanahan said Samuel would miss ‘a couple’ games after he strained his calf in the final moments of the 49ers’ Week 2 loss. Samuel go work in Thursday and Friday which gives him a chance to go Sunday.
If Winters can play we may see him get run at the Will linebacker spot alongside Fred Warner. He was getting mixed in against the Rams before aggravating his ankle injury on a special teams play.
Elliott left Thursday’s session with a foot injury, but he returned to practice Friday. Hufanga is a new addition to the report after not being listed the first two days of practice. The same goes for Williams who complained about toe soreness Friday.
If Williams can’t go the 49ers could be in serious trouble on the offensive line. We’ve seen the offense survive with running back Christian McCaffrey, Kittle and Samuel, but they’ve really struggled when Williams is out.
We’ll find out more about the 49ers’ injury situation 90 minutes before Sunday’s kickoff.
Kickoff from Levi’s Stadium is slated for 1:05pm Pacific Time.
