49ers inactives: Tight end George Kittle active in Week 6 vs. Rams

Share

49ers tight end George Kittle is active for San Francisco's Week 6 game against the Los Angeles Rams. 

Coach Kyle Shanahan said he expected Kittle, who injured his groin Friday, to suit up for the undefeated 49ers against the reigning NFC champions. However, the 49ers reportedly have "some concern" whether Kittle will be able to finish the game. 

The 49ers officially will be without four starters. Fullback Kyle Juszczyk (knee), left tackle Joe Staley (fibula), right tackle Mike McGlinchey (knee) and cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon (foot) were among the team's inactives Sunday. 

Here's the 49ers' full list of inactives:

Both teams will be short-handed. Rams All-Pro running back Todd Gurley, starting cornerback Aqib Talib and starting linebacker Clay Matthews all will be out Sunday at the LA Memorial Coliseum. 

Given the absences on both sides, this pivotal NFC West matchup should be up for grabs.
