49ers' Deebo Samuel: Confirmed out for Week 3
Samuel (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Samuel didn't practice at all this week and is expected to miss multiple games after injuring his calf in the fourth quarter of a Week 2 loss to Minnesota. With RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) on injured reserve and George Kittle (hamstring) listed as doubtful, the 49ers are suddenly thin on skill-position talent, leaving RB Jordan Mason and WRs Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings as the favorites to pile up yards this Sunday in Los Angeles. Reports this week didn't sound promising for Samuel's chances to return next Sunday against the Patriots (Sept. 29).

49ers' George Kittle: Officially doubtful
Kittle (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Rams, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Kittle was first listed on the injury report Thursday as a non-participant and then missed another practice Friday. It's bad timing for a 49ers offense that's already without RB Christian McCaffrey (IR, Achilles) and WR Deebo Samuel (out, calf), leaving WR Brandon Aiyuk as the far-and-away No. 1 option after he caught only six of 10 targets for 71 yards over the first two weeks of the season. Eric Saubert figures to start at tight end this Sunday, but Aiyuk and fellow wideout Jauan Jennings are more likely to benefit from Kittle's absence in a way that matters for fantasy football. Jake Tonges could play ahead of Saubert in passing situations, and it's also possible the various injuries lead to FB Kyle Juszczyk getting more snaps and/or touches.

49ers' George Kittle: Missing another practice
Kittle (hamstring) isn't practicing Friday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
It's a poor sign for his Week 3 availability after Kittle was a mid-week addition to the injury report, as he initially was listed as a non-participant Thursday. Another absence suggests this is more than just caution over minor soreness or tightness, likely setting Kittle up for a game designation on the final injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Rams.

49ers' Talanoa Hufanga: Will be on snap count Sunday
Hufanga (knee) will be on a snap count Sunday against the Rams, David Lombardi of The San Francisco Standard reports.
Hufanga will be making his season debut after missing the first two weeks while working his way back from last season's torn ACL. George Odum has been starting in Hufanga's place to this point, so both he and Malik Mustapha should continue to see defensive reps this week versus Los Angeles.

49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Running routes at practice
Pearsall (chest) ran routes on a side field Thursday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Barrows notes that Pearsall was making sharp cuts and appeared to be running at full speed, which supports earlier reports that the rookie hopes to be ready for games when he's first eligible to return from injured reserve Week 5. Pearsall's role at that point will partially depend on the health of San Francisco's other pass catchers, namely WR Deebo Samuel, who is expected to miss the next two or three games with a calf injury. While nobody can truly replace Samuel's unique blend of talents, Pearsall was highly successful with his limited opportunities as a ball carrier in five seasons between ASU and Florida, taking 21 career rush attempts for 253 yards and five TDs.

49ers' Jacob Cowing: May play offense this week
49ers GM John Lynch said Friday that Cowing "may get some [opportunities]" in Sunday's game against the Rams, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
With RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) on injured reserve, WR Deebo Samuel (calf) all but ruled out, and TE George Kittle (hamstring) now uncertain, the 49ers are badly in need of players that can haul in short passes and gain yards after the catch. Cowing may fit the bill thanks to his 4.38 speed and impressive agility, although he's no replacement for Samuel at just 5-foot-8, 172 pounds. Cowing had 4,477 receiving yards and 33 TDs in five collegiate season between UTEP and Arizona, but he's merely been a punt returner through two NFL games after going in the fourth round of the 2024 Draft. Any usage on offense this Sunday presumably would be on a part-time basis, with Cowing coming off the bench behind Brandon Aiyuk, Jauan Jennings and Chris Conley.

49ers' Charvarius Ward: DNP due to hamstring injury
Ward (hamstring) did not participate in Thursday's practice session, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Ward wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, but the fact that the hamstring injury prevented him from practicing Thursday puts him in jeopardy of not suiting up against the Rams in Week 3. He'll have to practice in at least a limited capacity Friday in order to have a shot at playing Sunday. If Ward is sidelined, then Deommodore Lenoir would be the top candidate to start at corner opposite Isaac Yiadom.

49ers' Nick Bosa: Nursing rib injury
Bosa (ribs) was limited during Thursday's practice session, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
The rib injury appears to be recent, as Bosa did not show up on the 49ers' injury report Wednesday. His participation in Friday's session will provide a better indication on his status for Sunday's NFC West showdown against the Rams. Bosa has tallied seven tackles (five solo), including 2.0 sacks, over the first two games of the regular season.

49ers' Deebo Samuel: Not practicing Thursday
Samuel (calf) won't practice Thursday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
With Christian McCaffrey (calf/Achilles) out Weeks 1 and 2, Samuel was getting some run out of the 49ers backfield in addition to his work as a receiver. Overall, Samuel had 23 touches for 177 yards from scrimmage and one rushing touchdown before he strained his right calf in the waning moments of this past Sunday's loss in Minnesota. Coach Kyle Shanahan relayed Monday that Samuel is in line for a multi-game absence, and George Kittle (hamstring) joined him on the injury report Thursday as a non-participant, leaving San Francisco potentially down three of its top skill-position talents Week 3. Currently, WR Brandon Aiyuk is the lone healthy regular, while Jauan Jennings, Chris Conley, Ronnie Bell and Jacob Cowing are the other options at the position on the active roster.

49ers' George Kittle: Misses practice with hammy injury
Kittle won't practice Thursday due to a hamstring injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Kittle wasn't included on the 49ers' initial Week 3 injury report, but he'll be given Thursday off after experiencing tightness in his hamstring coming out of Wednesday's practice session, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. The mid-week absence suddenly threatens Kittle's availability for Sunday's game against the Rams, but the 49ers won't decide whether he'll carry a designation into the weekend until after Friday's practice. With starting wideout Deebo Samuel (calf) already expected to miss Sunday's contest, Kittle's status takes on even greater significance than usual.

49ers' Jacob Cowing: Limited to special teams thus far
Cowing played three snaps -- all on special teams -- in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings.
The rookie fourth-round pick has been active for both of the 49ers' first two games of the season, but he has yet to see any use on offense. With top wideout Deebo Samuel (calf) trending toward an absence this Sunday versus the Rams, Cowing will move up a spot in the pecking order at receiver, though he still appears to be behind all of Brandon Aiyuk, Jauan Jennings, Chris Conley and Ronnie Bell.

49ers' Kyle Juszczyk: Three catches in Week 2
Juszczyk recorded three receptions for 19 yards on five targets in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings.
Though Jordan Mason has logged 20-plus carries in both of the 49ers' first two games in the absence of Christian McCaffrey (Achilles), Mason hasn't assumed McCaffrey's high-volume role in the passing game, logging just two targets. Mason's lack of involvement on passing downs has paved the way for Juszczyk to see more looks as a checkdown target for quarterback Brock Purdy, with the fullback's five targets Sunday representing his most in a game since the 2021 season. Juszczyk still isn't seeing enough volume as a pass catcher to put himself on the fantasy radar, however, and he has yet to see any use as a ball carrier through two weeks.
