The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Week 12 contest against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
George Kittle has not practiced since sustaining knee and ankle injuries during Week 9, and has missed the 49ers' last two games. The Pro Bowl tight end got back on the practice field on Thursday but was wearing a blue non-contact jersey. His status is expected to be a game-day decision.
WR Deebo Samuel (shoulder) was also back on the practice field after missing Wednesday's session. He, too, was wearing a blue non-contact jersey.
WR Emmanuel Sanders (ribs) was limited.
RB Matt Breida (ankle), DE Dee Ford (quadricep, hamstring), K Robbie Gould (right quadricep), and OT Joe Staley (finger) did not practice. Although, Breida and Ford were seen getting some work in on the side.
