The San Francisco 49ers’ participation report from Thursday’s practice came with some good news as two of their stars were back in action after missing Wednesday.
Tight end George Kittle and wide receiver Deebo Samuel were both back in practice with limited sessions Thursday. Kittle is working through a foot sprain he suffered in Week 7, while Samuel has been dealing with pneumonia that hospitalized him. Samuel tried playing Sunday, but saw only three snaps before exiting the game.
With WR Jauan Jennings still out with a hip injury and WR Brandon Aiyuk gone for the season, it’s a great sign for San Francisco that Samuel and Kittle were both able to make it back onto the field Thursday.
Here’s the full participation report:
Did not participate
DT Kevin Givens (groin)
WR Jauan Jennings (hip)
K Jake Moody (ankle)
Moody is still dealing with a high ankle sprain so his absence isn’t a surprise. Missing Givens would be a big deal for the 49ers since he’s a key depth piece on their defensive line rotation. His absence would open the door for undrafted rookie Evan Anderson to see extended time.
Limited participation
TE George Kittle (foot)
S George Odum (knee)
WR Deebo Samuel (wrist, illness)
DE Nick Bosa (elbow)
WR Chris Conley (ankle)
RB Jordan Mason (shoulder)
No setbacks for Bosa, Conley and Mason is great news for the 49ers. Anyone limited Thursday has a real chance to play Sunday.
Full participation
LT Trent Williams (not injury related)
Williams was back after his usual day off.
