Active Sunday Kittle (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Keiana Martin of the 49ers' official site reports.
Impact Kittle tended to swelling and soreness in his calf following the 49ers' Week 3 loss to the Packers, and the tight end managed just one limited practice during Week 4 prep. Adam Schefter of ESPN proceeded to report Sunday morning that Kittle was expected to play through the issue, and indeed he'll be out there for this key NFC West matchup. In seven career appearances versus Seattle, Kittle has 28 catches (on 41 targets) for 341 yards, but he's still in search of his first TD against them.

On track to play Sunday Kittle (calf), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Official confirmation of Kittle's status will arrive once the 49ers release their inactive list prior to the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday. Kittle has told teammates throughout the week that he intends to play through the injury, and while he appears set to do so, fantasy managers will want to see that prediction come to pass before locking him into Week 4 lineups.

Questionable for Week 4 Kittle (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, with coach Kyle Shanahan noting that the Niners should have a better idea by Saturday, Nick Wagoner...
Impact Shanahan said he was encouraged by Kittle's work on the practice field Friday, though the tight end was a limited participant, with reports from beat writers showing him running on the sideline rather than stretching with with teammates at the beginning of the session. For his part, Kittle acknowledged Friday afternoon that he's dealing with some swelling and pain, but he also said he'll "do everything" he can to suit up for Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, per Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News. If Kittle can't make it, the Niners will turn to Ross Dwelley and Charlie Woerner at tight end, while wide receivers Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and Mohamed Sanu could take on some extra targets.

Spotted running Friday Kittle (calf) is running at Friday's practice, but he doesn't have a helmet and doesn't appear to be doing the usual routine, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
Impact Kittle started warming up with his teammates but then did some running on his own off to the side while healthy players went through stretches. After missing practice Wednesday and Thursday, he'll almost certainly have a game designation when the Niners release their final injury report Friday afternoon. They have a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff for Sunday's home game against Seattle.

Sidelined for Thursday's practice Kittle (calf) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Impact The sore calf Kittle picked up in Sunday's loss to the Packers looks like it may be more worrisome than initially anticipated, as the star tight end will miss his second straight practice as the 49ers prepare for a Week 4 matchup with the Seahawks. Kittle has proven in the past that he doesn't need a full slate of practice to suit up on game days, but his ability to get on the field in any capacity Friday would alleviate some of the concern fantasy managers may have about the health of his calf. Through three games, Kittle has yet to find paydirt, but he's recorded 15 receptions and has totaled 196 yards from scrimmage.

DNP to begin Week 4 prep Kittle (calf) won't practice Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact In the aftermath of the 49ers' Week 3 loss to the Packers, coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Kittle emerged from the game with calf soreness, which has persisted into the first session of Week 4 prep. Shanahan relayed to Matt Barrows of The Athletic on Wednesday that he expects Kittle to be fine this week, but the 49ers won't push it just yet. Kittle's stature is such that he likely doesn't need to practice to be ready for game day, but he'll have two more chances to get on the field before week's end.
