In remarks to media on Monday, Niners head coach Kyle Shanahan disclosed that cornerback Ambry Thomas is nursing an ankle injury and that Kittle is dealing with a toe problem. Kittle and Thomas will therefore be day-to-day until they get over their health difficulties.
According to ESPN’s Nick Wagoner, everyone of the 49ers who participated in Sunday’s victory over the Detroit Lions are healthy aside from the two.
CB Ambry Thomas of the 49ers is hurting his ankle. TE George Kittle has a problem with his toe. Kyle Shanahan said both will be day-to-day as we approach Super Bowl LVIII. Other than that, the Niners emerged from the game on Sunday night healthy, according to Wagoner.
Fans of the 49ers who are hoping to watch one of the team’s top pass catchers play against the Chiefs’ pass defense may find the injury report, which was posted on Friday, troubling. This week, Kittle did not take part in any 49ers practices. Kittle received a “unspecified” designation from the 49ers for the Super Bowl.
Kittle’s toe injury will take another week to heal. Kittle is likely not going to be available for the Super Bowl, though, given that he has missed every 49ers practice this week. Kittle should be allowed to practice in Las Vegas sometime next week, according to the 49ers.
