The 49ers’ practice field was a little more crowded Thursday as the team gears up for a crucial showdown with the Green Bay Packers.
Injury circumstances were dire for San Francisco on Wednesday when George Kittle, Emmanuel Sanders, Deebo Samuel and Matt Breida all missed practice. Three of the four were back Thursday though, providing some semblance of optimism about their returns.
Kittle is working through knee and ankle injuries he sustained in Week 9, and was back Thursday after not practicing the last two weeks. Sanders hurt his ribs in Week 10, and didn’t practice leading up to last week’s game, and played most of the game despite a painful injury. Samuel hurt his shoulder in the third quarter against the Cardinals, but returned to the game. That alone was a good sign for his availability Sunday night.
