49ers injury report blank for NFC championship

The 49ers don’t have an injury report for the NFC championship game. They’ll have all 53 players on their roster available Sunday in their showdown with the Green Bay Packers at Levi’s Stadium.

There were only minor injury concerns following their divisional round win over the Minnesota Vikings. Tevin Coleman hurt his elbow and Raheem Mostert dealt with some calf cramping. They were both full participants in practice all week and good to go for Sunday.

Tight end George Kittle surprisingly missed Wednesday’s practice with ankle soreness that arose from Saturday’s game. He practiced in full the final two days of the week though and will play vs. the Packers.

Dee Ford and Kwon Alexander both returned from extended absences a week ago and spent most of the week limited in practice. Alexander is in the early stages of his return from a torn pec and was limited all three days. Ford is nursing a hamstring injury and was limited Wednesday and Thursday, but a full go for Friday. Both players will be active and ready to go for Sunday.

Perhaps the biggest question is Ford’s snap count. He’s been dealing with a quad injury all season, and played 22 snaps in his return from that hamstring issue. The 49ers defense is better when he’s on the field, so it’ll be intriguing to see how many snaps he plays in the NFC title game.
