If he misses week 1 then itll be just like last season :/

My memory sucks. Did he miss last years opener?

Yea no Kittle for that muddy mess vs. Chicago.

I do not like these lingering injuries, let's hope Kittle & Hufunga are ready to go week 1.

This is from Monday's report. You have most of these.

The following players were among those who did not participate in Monday's practice, per Barrows.

• LB Oren Burks (knee)
• WR Chris Conley (shoulder)
• K Zane Gonzalez (calf)
• WR Danny Gray (shoulder)
• LB Dre Greenlaw (hamstring)
• S Tayler Hawkins (broken hand)
• S Talanoa Hufanga (knee cyst)
• TE George Kittle (unknown)
• TE Cameron Latu (knee)
• RB Jordan Mason (foot)
• WR Ray-Ray McCloud (hand)
• K Jake Moody (quad)
• CB A.J. Parker (hamstring)

Talanoa's injury bothers me, I get the feeling it's (sooner or later) going to turn into a Dee Ford knee situation. I remember Kittle getting a torn Rotator cuff a couple of years ago, and I suspect that - it's still bothering him. Cartilage tears don't heal, as far as my amateur medical knowledge goes. Patrick Willis retired early because of a foot injury that didn't heal. All the others, seem minor injuries though. That's the good part of the news.

It was a torn labrum not the rotator cuff. Sorry I had the same thing happen to me so it's near and dear to me from an educational standpoint 🙂. My dad had his rotator cuff torn at the same time. He did the surgery, I didn't. The recovery time is about the same for both. Six months. You were right about the cartilage part though. Since I didn't do the surgery my shoulder tried to heal itself and it's costed me a bunch of strength in my right shoulder as a result. It's a pain in the *ss. I should have just sucked it up and got it done.

The thing that is concerning about Hufunga is that it could be tied to a bigger issue. Fingers crossed

Exactly.

And SMH on Kittle. Lynch, his dad and Kittle said this is the first year he's been fully healthy in years.

And now this.

And Latu done for the year too.

Agree, it definitely was a cartilage injury, and yes you are right.

I'm against surgery in general because of all the potential negative consequences - but in this case with Kittle, if it can extend his career and also strengthen that shoulder, for me, it would be worth it. He's fighting through it, but maybe that's another reason Kyle drafted two tight ends this year. who knows.

Sucks about Latu, but I think that will give him time to reshape his body and work with the jugs machine and get his hands stronger for keeping those catches. Kyle's just going to have to use those injuries to uncover talent (like Purdy), you really can't do anything else with injuries other than to use it in a positive way.

Updated Sept 4, Gipson did not practice today. Not clear why. George Odum also landed on an injury report. Expect more clarity on the 9ers status as the week progresses.

Latu done for the year is because he'd likely be a cut from the team if he were healthy.

His style of play is why he'll always have some type of injury.

One dude that always flies under the radar and always seems healthy….Juan Jennings. I hope he can pick up some of the load if Kittle is limited.
Jennings also seems to always make the crucial plays when we need them.

I got injured in an adult softball league - perhaps you can imagine these humans get injured as well.
