49ers Deebo Samuel, George Kittle not on injury report for practice Wednesday

By Chelena Goldman | Last updated 1/26/22

Good news for San Francisco 49ers fans, as offensive standouts Deebo Samuel and George Kittle were not on the team's injury report on Wednesday ahead of this weekend's NFC championship game against the Los Angeles Rams.

#49ers pre-practice report via Kyle Shanahan:

No practice
LT Trent Williams (ankle)
RB Elijah Mitchell (knee)

Limited
CB Ambry Thomas (knee)
RB Jeff Wilson (ankle)

Full
QB Jimmy Garoppolo (thumb)

Also, WR Deebo Samuel and TE George Kittle are not even listed.

Both tight end Kittle and hybrid wide receiver Samuel were banged up in last week's divisional matchup victory over the Green Bay Packers. Their omission from Wednesday's injury report is good news for quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, who will need all of his offensive weapons firing on all cylinders when the Niners visit SoFi Stadium this weekend.

Garoppolo himself was listed as having an injured shoulder and thumb, although head coach Kyle Shanahan told the media the shoulder is no longer an issue.

Shanahan also said #49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo's shoulder injury is no longer an issue but he's still dealing with injured right thumb but will practice full

San Francisco will also have wide receiver Mohamed Sanu back in the mix after a stint on injured reserve, although it is unclear what his role will be in Sunday's game because of how well Jauan Jennings has played against Los Angeles.

The 49ers have activated Mohamed Sanu from IR. Bolstered WR depth for the NFC title, but that top big slot spot is Jauan Jennings' now, especially given his success vs the Rams
