49ers’ Shanahan reveals injury concern level for Kittle, Bosa; Ward remains away

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan provided injury updates on Wednesday as the team prepares for Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. Neither tight end George Kittle nor defensive end Nick Bosa will participate in Wednesday's practice.

When asked about his concern level for both players, Shanahan replied, "Not too high. I mean, Bosa was able to get through it last week. Kittle, I expect to have him out there tomorrow. It's just irritated. We'll be smart today, but you never know how the week goes. But I feel pretty good about both of them."

Bosa is managing a hip injury suffered last week during practice. Kittle emerged from Sunday's game with some hamstring irritation.

Other players not practicing Wednesday include left tackle Trent Williams (ankle, wrist) and defensive tackle Kevin Givens (groin). Punter Mitch Wishnowsky is also sidelined with a back injury. The 49ers signed punter Pat O'Donnell as a potential backup.

"I am a little more concerned with that," Shanahan admitted of Wishnowsky's status. "It bothered him earlier in the year pretty bad back to training camp, and it's flared up here this last week, so we'll see how this week goes.

"But that's why we brought in another guy. So, hopefully, it'll take a turn for the better here, but right now, we have some concern."

Running back Christian McCaffrey, wide receiver Chris Conley (hamstring), and guard Jon Feliciano (knee) will be limited in practice. Shanahan clarified that McCaffrey's limited status is part of the plan following his return from Achilles tendinitis and not due to a setback.

Renardo Green healthy

Renardo Green left Sunday's game with a toe injury, but Shanahan said the rookie cornerback is expected to fully participate in Wednesday's practice and is "good to go."

Charvarius Ward remains away

Cornerback Charvarius Ward missed Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He remains away from the team after his daughter's passing. On Monday, Shanahan expressed hope for Ward's return this week.

When asked about Ward on Wednesday, Shanahan shared, "I think he's getting close. I'm just talking to him. I don't want to put a date on it because you never know if that could change or not, but he's told us sooner than later, and hopefully, he'll be in a good place to come back."
