May return to practice this week Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that the 49ers are hopeful Kittle (hamstring) returns to practice this week, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Kittle was a midweek addition to the 49ers' injury report last week due to hamstring tightness, which held him out of drills Thursday and Friday and from Sunday's loss to the Rams. San Francisco will issue its first Week 4 practice report Wednesday, at which point it'll become known if he'll be able to join his teammates on the practice field. In Kittle's place this past weekend, Eric Saubert (two catches for 41 yards on two targets) started and handled 61 of 71 offensive snaps, while Jake Tonges earned 16 and Brayden Willis four.

Now out for Sunday Kittle (hamstring) has been downgraded to out and will not play Sunday against the Rams, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Impact This was the likely outcome given Kittle was listed as doubtful originally on Friday's injury report. Eric Saubert will get the start at tight end, but Jake Tonges could get more of the pass-catching opportunities at tight end as well.

49ers TE George Kittle at Risk of Missing Week 3 vs Rams San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is listed as doubtful to play in Week 3 vs. the Los Angeles Rams.
SEPTEMBER 20 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM
Officially doubtful Kittle (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Rams, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Impact Kittle was first listed on the injury report Thursday as a non-participant and then missed another practice Friday. It's bad timing for a 49ers offense that's already without RB Christian McCaffrey (IR - Achilles) and WR Deebo Samuel (out - calf), leaving WR Brandon Aiyuk as the far-and-away No. 1 option after he caught only six of 10 targets for 71 yards over the first two weeks of the season. Eric Saubert figures to start at tight end this Sunday, but Aiyuk and fellow wideout Jauan Jennings are more likely to benefit from Kittle's absence in a way that matters for fantasy football. Jake Tonges could play ahead of Saubert in passing situations, and it's also possible the various injuries lead to FB Kyle Juszczyk getting more snaps and/or touches.

Missing another practice Kittle (hamstring) isn't practicing Friday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact It's a poor sign for his Week 3 availability after Kittle was a mid-week addition to the injury report, initially listed as a non-participant Thursday. Another absence suggests this is more than just caution over minor soreness/tightness, likely setting Kittle up for a game designation on the final injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Rams.
