The San Francisco 49ers are hopeful to have tight end George Kittle back for their upcoming game against the Green Bay Packers, but the status of pass rusher Nick Bosa remains uncertain due to injury. Kittle missed the last game against the Seattle Seahawks, contributing to a disappointing loss that jeopardized the team's playoff chances.

Bosa, who left the Seahawks game with a hip and oblique injury, is making progress but is still uncertain about his availability. His absence has been significant in the 49ers' recent struggles, as they have blown leads in multiple games this season.

Quarterback Brock Purdy is also dealing with a shoulder injury but is expected to play. Meanwhile, running back Christian McCaffrey and left tackle Trent Williams are managing their own injuries as the team prepares for a crucial match.
