The 49ers are undermanned heading into their Week 5 Thursday night clash against the Rams, but they could be getting several key players back for their game next week vs. the Buccaneers.
That includes All-Pro tight end George Kittle, who is missing his fourth game Thursday with a hamstring injury he suffered in the 49ers' Week 1 win over the Seahawks. Kittle was placed on injured reserve, meaning he had to miss at least four games before he could return. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Kittle hasn't had any setbacks and there's a "real chance" he could be back in time for their matchup against the Buccaneers.
