49ers TE George Kittle is "day to day" with a sprained foot, HC Kyle Shanahan said Monday. It sounds like Kittle has a decent chance to be available for Sunday night's game vs. the Cowboys, but we'll keep a close eye on him this week. TE Eric Saubert caught both of his targets for 41 yards as San Francisco's lead TE when Kittle missed Week 3.

49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game vs. the Rams. He didn't seem close to playing in this one after experiencing hamstring soreness starting on Thursday. We'll see if he can make it back for Week 4's game against the Patriots. Eric Saubert figures to operate as San Francisco's lead TE tomorrow, but he'd be a desperation fantasy play.

49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for this weekend’s game vs. the Rams. Kittle showed up on Thursday with a sore hamstring and missed the final two practices of the week. The Niners will be down Kittle, RB Christian McCaffrey, and WR Deebo Samuel on Sunday. They’ll need to lean on RB Jordan Mason and WR Brandon Aiyuk. WR Jauan Jennings should also see a boosted role. TE Eric Saubert looks like the Kittle replacement but would be a desperation fantasy play. The 30-year-old owns 38 career catches.

Niners TE George Kittle missed practice with hamstring tightness Thursday. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the TE's status for Sunday's game against the Rams "is in question."
