SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Already without two of their most important players, the San Francisco 49ers added two more key names to the injury report Thursday when tight end George Kittle and cornerback Charvarius Ward did not participate in practice.

Kittle is dealing with a hamstring injury while Ward is battling hamstring and knee issues, according to the team. Neither were on the practice field for the early open portion of practice, leaving their status up in the air for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams.

Those absences come on the heels of the Niners placing running back Christian McCaffrey (calf, Achilles tendonitis) on injured reserve and losing Deebo Samuel to a calf injury against the Minnesota Vikings.

McCaffrey sat out that game and will miss at least the next three. Samuel is expected to miss «a couple of weeks,» coach Kyle Shanahan said.
