SANTA CLARA, Calif. – San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle left no doubt about his participation in the final regular season game against the Seattle Seahawks.
Kittle, who missed the Niners’ game against the Chicago Bears last Sunday night due to a left ankle sprain, did not practice during the week leading up to that game. Although he hoped to play, the Niners opted for caution.However, everything indicates that Kittle will return for this week’s game. He participated in a limited way in Tuesday’s training and was present on Wednesday. Although coach Kyle Shanahan did not offer guarantees about Kittle’s availability on Tuesday, Kittle made it clear on Wednesday that he felt much better.Absolutely.

In addition to Kittle’s consecutive participation in training, the Niners welcomed back running back Christian McCaffrey (back stiffness) and fullback Kyle Juszczyk (hip) on Wednesday, after they did not participate on Tuesday. McCaffrey said on Tuesday that his back issue “was not serious”.Left tackle Trent Williams (right hamstring) and defensive lineman Keion White (groin) were not seen during the first part of the practice open to reporters. The possible availability of that duo seems to be more uncertain for Saturday night, after missing the first two days of training in a short week.The Niners, with a 12-4 record, face the Seahawks, with a 13-3 record, on Saturday at 5 p.m. PT at Levi’s Stadium. The winner will take the NFC West Division crown, the top seed in the NFC, a first-round bye, and home-field advantage throughout the postseason.I feel fabulous. Great position for Saturday night to secure the top spot. So with that, I’m fantastic.
