49ers are expecting to get George Kittle back this week, but aren’t sure about Nick Bosa

Associated Press  

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The San Francisco 49ers are expecting to get star tight end George Kittle back this week for a key game against Green Bay but are uncertain whether top pass rusher Nick Bosa will be able to play. The 49ers finished last week’s 20-17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks without either Kittle or Bosa able to play, leading to their third loss this season after holding a late lead and leaving San Francisco’s playoff hopes in peril. Kittle missed the entire game with a hamstring injury but was back at practice in a limited fashion Wednesday and said there was no doubt he would play Sunday against the Packers. We’ve come very close in most of our losses and we’re probably three or four plays away from being an 8-2 team, which is easy to say, but it just shows that if we could play better football throughout the game then we’re as good as anybody and we believe that.” In other injury news, quarterback Brock Purdy was limited at practice after hurting his right shoulder in Sunday’s game and didn’t throw any passes during the open portion of practice.
