Kittle, who is nursing injuries to his ribs, was a limited participant in practice on Monday and Tuesday but was upgraded to a full participant on Wednesday.

Per reports, Kittle picked up the injury to his ribs in the 49ers' Week 4 win over the New England Patriots. However, he recovered in time to feature in San Francisco's Week 5 loss against the Arizona Cardinals.

Kittle has been an impact player for the 49ers once again this season. The five-time Pro Bowler has recorded 224 yards on 23 receptions and caught three touchdowns in four appearances. Kitte missed San Francisco's Week 3 defeat against the LA Rams with a hamstring injury, but that issue is now behind him.

Despite nursing a rib injury this week, reports suggest that Kittle will get the green light to play against the Seahawks on Thursday.
