San Francisco and Seattle define the first seed in the NFC in the last week of the regular calendar
SANTA CLARA, California — The tight end of the San Francisco 49ers, George Kittleleft no doubt when asked if he expected to play in Saturday night’s regular season finale against the Seattle Seahawks.
“Absolutely,” Kittle responded.
George Kittle did not play in the victory of the 49ers against the Chicago Bears last Sunday due to a sprained left ankle. He did not train during the week before that game, and although he expected to play, the 49ers They preferred not to risk it.
But signs point to Kittle’s return for this week’s game. He participated on a limited basis in training on Tuesday and was present at practice on Wednesday. Although on Tuesday the coach Kyle Shanahan made no guarantees about Kittle’s availability, he made it clear Wednesday that he was feeling much better.
“I feel fabulous,” Kittle remarked. “In a great position for Saturday night to get first place. So in that sense, I feel great.”
Besides that George Kittle He participated for the second consecutive day in training, the 49ers welcomed the running back back Christian McCaffrey (stiffness in the back) and fullback Kyle Juszczyk (hip) on Wednesday, after not participating on Tuesday. McCaffrey reported Tuesday that his back problem was “not serious.”
The left tackle Trent Williams (right hamstring) and defensive lineman Keion White (groin) were not seen during the initial part of the training open to the press. Their possible availability seems more uncertain for Saturday night, having missed the first two days of training in a short week.
Los 49ers (12-4) face the Seahawks (13-3) on Saturday at Levi’s Stadium. The winner will take the NFC West Division title, first place in the NFC, a first-round bye and home field advantage throughout the postseason. If you want stadiums, cities, conferences or divisions to also be highlighted, I can adjust that in a moment.
