Misses practice with hammy injury Kittle won't practice Thursday due to a hamstring injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Kittle wasn't included on the 49ers' initial Week 3 injury report, but he'll be given Thursday off after experiencing tightness in his hamstring coming out of Wednesday's practice session, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. The mid-week absence suddenly threatens Kittle's availability for Sunday's game against the Rams, but the 49ers won't decide whether he'll carry a designation into the weekend until after Friday's practice. With starting wideout Deebo Samuel (calf) already expected to miss Sunday's contest, Kittle's status takes on even greater significance than usual.

The eccentric tight end carries a 11/116/1 receiving line into a Week 3 matchup against the Rams.
