Health matters are starting to come together for the San Francisco 49ers.

Tight end George Kittle told reporters on Thursday that he is “feeling fantastic” and “very excited to play football.”

Kittle missed Week 3 due to his hamstring injury, but he was not listed on the 49ers’ injury report for Friday.

Wide receiver Deebo Samuel also missed Week 3 due to a calf injury. Samuel is listed as questionable to play in Week 4.

#49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) is good to go for Sunday. He has no injury designation. #49ers WR Deebo Samuel (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday against the Patriots.

Samuel told reporters Friday that he is “feeling good.”

#49ers WR Deebo Samuel made it through past two practices well and believes he's on schedule health wise, which gives him a chance for Sunday:

"I came back feeling pretty good and we went to practice the past two days and still feeling good. So we'll just see how it goes."
