9 49ers, 4 starters out injured in 2nd-to-last preseason practice
The San Francisco 49ers were missing 9 players, including two stars when they took the field for their second-to-last practice of the preseason.
The San Francisco 49ers held their final preseason practice before departing for Australia on Tuesday. ESPN's Nick Wagoner reported that nine players, including four projected starters, were absent from the early part of the session. The injured players were: Nick Bosa, Romello Height, Gracen Halton, Renardo Green, Mike Evans, Jacob Cowing, Kyle Juszczyk, Luke Gifford, and Ephesians Prysock.
Tight end George Kittle, however, remained present and injury-free, suggesting he will likely play in the season opener. The absence of these key players is not necessarily indicative of their absence from the flight to Australia, as the team is likely exercising caution due to the regular season opener being just over a week away.
The team will provide more information on Wednesday about who will and won't be making the trip. The 49ers are not required to report participation until Monday, when their first regular season practice week begins.
