San Francisco 49ers injury report: Latest on George Kittle, Talanoa Hufanga, Fred Warner and more for Week 6 TNF showdown

The first game of Week 6 will take place at Lumen Field on Thursday, October 10, between the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks. After losing their most recent games—the 49ers to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 5 and the Seattle Seahawks to the New York Giants in the same week—both sides will be keen to bounce back on Thursday.

The Niners are aware that Thursday night's game in Seattle could have a big impact on the outcome of their season, especially given their 2-3 record.

San Francisco 49ers injury report

The 49ers did not hold any practices on Monday. They only held a walk-through session on Tuesday due to the short week and their impending Thursday night game against the Seahawks.

The team did, however, still provide estimated injury reports on both days, and it appears Tuesday's walk-through had a small bit of positive news regarding the practice participation report.

Cornerback Charvarius Ward was an estimated DNP on Monday's report due to a knee bruise he sustained in Week 5. Ward did, however, return for Tuesday's walkthrough as a limited participant, which is encouraging for his probable availability status for Week 6.

Below is how the 49ers' Tuesday participation report:

Defensive Tackle Jordan Elliott (knee) - DNP on Tuesday

Linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles (calf) - DNP on Tuesday

Safety Talanoa Hufanga (wrist) - DNP on Tuesday - OUT

Kicker Jake Moody (right ankle) - DNP on Tuesday

Safety Ji’Ayir Brown (ankle) - Limited in Tuesday's practice

Wide Receiver Chris Conley (oblique) - Limited in Tuesday's practice

Tight End George Kittle (ribs) - Limited in Tuesday's practice

Cornerback Charvarius Ward (knee) - Limited in Tuesday's practice

Linebacker Fred Warner (ankle) - Limited in Tuesday's practice

Wide Receiver Jacob Cowing (shoulder) - Full practice participation on Tuesday

George Kittle's injury update

Tight end George Kittle is still recovering from a rib ailment, according to Niners coach Kyle Shanahan, and he only participated in a limited capacity in Tuesday's practice.

Kittle has been tending to his rib ailment since his team's victory over the New England Patriots two weeks ago; however, he was able to play through it in Week 5 against the Arizona Cardinals. He finished with eight receptions for 64 yards and a touchdown in the game.

It will be important to keep an eye out for Kittle's involvement in practice on Wednesday, as that will confirm if he will be carrying any injury designation into Thursday night's game.

Kittle should be able to carry his regular workload in Week 6 if he practices without any restrictions on Wednesday.

Fred Warner's injury update

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Fred Warner was limited in his participation during Tuesday's walk-through practice due to an ankle injury.

Warner is expected to be available for the divisional matchup against the Seahawks, given that he only practiced once last week while dealing with the same ankle injury and still participated in Week 5.

Talanoa Hufanga's injury update

Safety Talanoa Hufanga might be sidelined for up to a month after suffering a wrist injury involving ligament tears during the Niners' Sunday loss to the Cardinals.

Hufanga won't be available for a minimum of four weeks, according to Kyle Shanahan on Tuesday. However, the organization hasn't yet determined whether to put him on the injured reserve list.

Considering how long he will be out, the most likely consequence is that Hufanga will be placed on IR. Rookie Malik Mustapha will therefore need to step up to take his spot in the lineup.
