Clear for TNF Kittle (ribs) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game at Seattle, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Kittle was listed as limited on Monday's estimated practice report due to a lingering rib injury. He then was capped at Tuesday's walkthrough, which was enough for the eighth-year pro to be able to suit up Week 6. Kittle thus will be facing a Seahawks defense that has allowed the 10th-most YPT (7.7) to opposing tight ends this season.

Puts in limited practice Kittle (ribs) will be a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Kittle has been nursing a rib injury since the 49ers' Week 4 win over the Patriots, but he logged a full workload (57 snaps) while finishing with eight catches for 64 yards and a touchdown on a season-high 12 targets in this past weekend's loss to the Cardinals. Though the 49ers are facing a quick turnaround for Week 6 with a Thursday night matchup against the Seahawks, Kittle's involvement in practice Tuesday suggests he's on track to handle his usual role.

Still nursing rib injury Kittle was a limited participant on the 49ers' practice estimate Monday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact Kittle played through his rib injury in Week 4's 24-23 loss to Arizona and finished with eight receptions (on 12 targets) for 64 yards and a touchdown. It looks like the issue is still bothering him, but he was at least still able to be listed as limited Monday. More clarity on his status should come as the week progresses. The veteran tight end has hauled in 23 passes (on 29 targets) for 225 yards and three touchdowns across four games. Eric Saubert would presumably be the next man up if Kittle's injury happens to worsen in this short week.

Suiting up Sunday Kittle (ribs) is listed as active Sunday versus the Cardinals, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.

Impact Kittle will continue to play through the rib injury that briefly resulted in a questionable to return tag last Sunday against the Patriots. The issue capped him to only one limited practice (Friday) during Week 5 prep, but considering he finished Week 4 with a 94 percent snap share, he should be able to handle a similar workload this weekend. Assuming he garners enough looks from QB Brock Purdy, Kittle is in a good spot to produce against an Arizona defense that has allowed the fifth-most YPT (8.65) to opposing tight ends this season.

Expected to play Sunday Kittle (ribs) is likely to play in Sunday's Week 5 game against Arizona, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Kittle logged a pair of DNPs during Week 5 prep but was able to return to a limited practice session Friday. That looks to have been enough for the tight end to suit up Sunday, and it doesn't appear that he'll have any limitations. Kittle missed Week 3 against the Rams due to a hamstring injury, then hurt his ribs in the first half of Week 4's win against New England but was able to return after halftime and finish out the contest.
