49ers injuries

It has been exactly three weeks since George Kittle suffered a knee and ankle injury in the first quarter of a 28-25 Thursday night win over the Arizona Cardinals. For the first time since that injury, Kittle was back on the 49ers practice field with pads on.

The 49ers lost to the Seattle Seahawks on Monday by the skin of their teeth, and in large part due to a litany of injuries.

There has been no shortage of praise for the 49ers defense.

In the process of tackling Russell Wilson in the open field, Ronald Blair III tore his ACL. While his name isn’t the flashiest on a star-studded line, he was a crucial part of the rotation.

The 49ers are not getting healthier. While it seemed like everything was lining up for some key returns, the injury bug has not dissipated in the slightest.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan provided details on a number of potential returns and timelines on Thursday that paint a picture of what the upcoming week might look like.

Halloween provided a pair of scares for the 49ers in the form of a near blown lead to the Arizona Cardinals and significant injury worries.

For the second-straight day, Joe Staley was back at 49ers practice, though he was limited and appeared to struggle more than he did on Wednesday, when he came through practice discernibly without issue.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan provided updates on Joe Staley, Ahkello Witherspoon, long snapper Kyle Nelson and explained his appreciation at getting his father, Mike, the game ball.

The 49ers appeared to escape Los Angeles without any serious injuries, but they weren’t completely unscathed.
