49ers Face Injury Crisis Ahead of NFC West Clash
The S an Francisco 49ers are entering a challenging phase as they prepare for their crucial matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.
Recent practice sessions have raised eyebrows as key players, including tight end George Kittle and cornerback Charvarius Ward, were sidelined, leading to uncertainty about their availability for the game.
Kittle is struggling with hamstring tightness, which raises questions about his offensive contributions, while Ward is dealing with injuries to both his hamstring and knee.
“They will end up being questionable I’m sure,” coach Kyle Shanahan told KNBR radio in San Francisco on Thursday.
“They had good practices yesterday. They complained of some soreness after practice and they came in this morning with it, so we weren’t going to put them out there today and have them get real hurt.
“Hopefully they come in tomorrow and can get some work in. Definitely hoping those guys can be available on Sunday but, if not, gotta go to the next guys up.”
