"SANTA CLARA George Kittle is doing so well he was removed from the injury report entirely Friday. The 49ers' six-time Pro Bowl tight end hasn't played since 1 with a hamstring strain but will return to the lineup Sunday night when the 49ers (4-2) host the Atlanta Falcons (3-2) at Levi's Stadium (NBC, 5:25 p.m.) Listed as out are quarterback Brock Purdy, cornerback Renardo Green (neck), wide receiver Ricky Pearsall Jr. (knee) and defensive lineman Yetur Gross-Matos (knee, hamstring)."
"Kittle who said Thursday his hamstring was torn in the opener, will play with no snap count restriction. No pitch count, Shanahan said. George has rehabbed really well. He came back 100 percent, had a good week of practice. Kittle is eager to hit someone. I have been so very excited to play football since last season ended, and to be able to play only 26 snaps has been very difficult for me, Kittle said."
George Kittle was removed from the injury report and will return Sunday after missing time with a hamstring strain. Multiple 49ers are listed out, including quarterback Brock Purdy, cornerback Renardo Green, wide receiver Ricky Pearsall Jr. and defensive lineman Yetur Gross-Matos, while Upton Stout and Kevin Givens are questionable. Kittle and Givens are on injured reserve but roster spots will open with Marques Valdes-Scantling on injured reserve and Fred Warner expected to join soon. Purdy will miss at least one more start, so Mac Jones will get another start while Purdy's toe heals. Jauan Jennings practiced fully despite multiple injuries.
