Tight end George Kittle missed three practices this week as he deals with a groin strain. There was some hope that he might practice on Friday, but that did not happen. The tight end is officially listed as "questionable" for the game, and head coach Kyle Shanahan remains optimistic that he could still play.
"That's why he's questionable," the coach said.
A reporter asked if that meant he could play.
"Questionably," the coach responded with a slight laugh.
On Friday morning, Shanahan stated that he didn't expect to have offensive lineman Daniel Brunskill available.
Linebacker Dre Greenlaw, who has been dealing with an elbow injury, appears good to go.
"That's why I didn't give him a designation," Shanahan said.
Below are the official injury reports for the 49ers and Bears, provided by the 49ers Communications staff. Also included are Friday's practice participation reports.
