49ers injury updates: Christian Kirk doesn’t practice on Thursday
Christian Kirk missed Thursday’s session after being a limited participant on Wednesday
The San Francisco 49ers released their injury report for Thursday. As usual, offensive tackle Trent Williams returned to practice following a veteran's day off. Quarterback Christian McCaffrey also participated on a limited basis. The wide receiver Christian Kirk was listed as not participating due to a knee injury, following limited participation on Wednesday.
General manager John Lynch had previously announced that the 49ers would be without wideouts Deebo Samuel (hamstring) and Mike Evans (ribs/Achilles) for the upcoming Sunday game. Therefore, if Kirk is unable to play, Demarcus Robinson, who has been limited with an ankle injury, would likely replace him in the lineup. Aiyuk, their main wide receiver depth, hasn't practiced or played with the team in over a year, making the situation even more challenging.
