**Injury Report: Key Player to Miss Sunday’s Showdown**
The San Francisco 49ers will be without one of their top players this Sunday when they face off against the Los Angeles Rams. Tight end George Kittle has been ruled out due to a hamstring injury, leaving a significant gap in the team’s offense.
To fill the void, the 49ers have elevated tight end Brayden Willis from the practice squad, providing additional depth behind Eric Saubert and Jake Tonges. Saubert is expected to start in Kittle’s place, and coach Kyle Shanahan has expressed confidence in his abilities. “He’s done a hell of a job,” Shanahan said. “He’s stepped in well and has been real consistent since he’s been here. If he’s got to do it all, he’s up for the challenge.”
Meanwhile, star defensive end Nick Bosa will suit up despite being listed as questionable with a rib injury. Bosa was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice but was limited the next two days after suffering the injury in a one-on-one drill. Defensive end Sam Okuayinonu has also been elevated from the practice squad to provide additional depth.
The 49ers will be without several key players on Sunday, including running back Christian McCaffrey, who is on injured reserve with Achilles tendinitis, and wide receiver Deebo Samuel, who is expected to miss a couple of weeks with a calf injury. Despite these setbacks, the team is looking forward to a competitive matchup against the Rams.
