Hufanga and Winters' injury statuses are unspecified, while the rest of the players on the report have designations. Let's spotlight these players and examine whether they'll be available against the Rams.
Deebo Samuel's injury status
According to Fox Sports, Deebo Samuel will miss some time due to a calf injury sustained during his side's Week 2 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. 49ers' head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters on the Monday after the game that the Pro Bowler will be out for a "couple weeks."
Hence, Samuel has officially been ruled out of the Rams game. He'll watch his teammates from the sidelines as he undergoes rehab for the injury.
Charvarius Ward's injury status
According to CBS Sports, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Charvarius Ward is questionable for his side's Week 3 game. Ward is dealing with hamstring and knee issues.
The pass catcher first appeared on the injury report after not practicing Thursday. However, he was a limited participant in Friday's training session; hence, there's a chance that he'll feature on Sunday.
George Kittle's injury status
According to CBS News, perennial Pro Bowler tight end George Kittle is doubtful for his side's Week 3 matchup. Kittle was dealing with a hamstring injury and did not partake in Thursday or Friday's practice sessions.
His potential unavailability is a blow to Kyle Shanahan's side, as they're currently without fellow Pro Bowlers Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel for the foreseeable future. Kittle's unavailability would mean an extra load on Brandon Aiyuk to carry the offense.
Nick Bosa's injury status
According to Pro Football Talk, Nick Bosa was limited in training this week due to a rib injury. Hence, the star pass rusher is listed as questionable for their upcoming game against the Los Angeles Rams.
It's currently unclear as to how Nick Bosa sustained the injury or whether he will suit up in Week 3.
