"SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- One day after losing linebacker Fred Warner to a season-ending right ankle dislocation, the San Francisco 49ers got some positive injury news Monday as coach Kyle Shanahan said tight end George Kittle will return to practice this week. Kittle, who has been on injured reserve since Week 2 with a strained right hamstring, will open his 21-day practice window this week with a chance to play against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday night."
"Kittle injured the hamstring in the season opener against the Seattle Seahawks on Sept. 7. He left that game with 10:06 left in the second quarter, hobbling off after running a deep route down Seattle's sideline on a play in which Purdy was sacked by Seahawks safety Julian Love. Kittle was soon ruled out for the game and placed on injured reserve that week."
Linebacker Fred Warner suffered a season-ending right ankle dislocation and will miss the remainder of the season. Tight end George Kittle, on injured reserve since Week 2 with a strained right hamstring, will begin a 21-day practice window this week and could play Sunday night against the Atlanta Falcons. Quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) and receiver Ricky Pearsall (right knee) could return to practice this week; both will be evaluated Wednesday and then day-to-day. Purdy re-aggravated his toe after returning in Week 4, and Mac Jones started the past two games. Pearsall landed hard on his right knee while attempting a sideline catch against the Jaguars.
