The San Francisco 49ers will finish out their 2024 season with tight end George Kittle in the mix.

Kittle was listed as ‘questionable’ on the Week 18 injury report because of ankle and hamstring issues. He was a non-participant in Wednesday’s practice, but returned on a limited basis for Thursday and Friday.

He was not among the team’s list of inactives for Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals. Here is who won’t suit up for San Francisco:

QB Brock Purdy (elbow)
WR Deebo Samuel (ribs, wrist)
CB Deommodore Lenoir (shoulder)
DE Robert Beal Jr. (ankle)
CB Tre Avery
DT Khalil Davis
RB Israel Abanikanda

There won’t be an emergency third signal caller for the 49ers since Purdy is out. Joshua Dobbs will start and Brandon Allen will back him up. Undrafted rookie QB Tanner Mordecai didn’t get a call up from the practice squad in Saturday’s roster moves because San Francisco needed depth at other positions.

Trent Taylor was called up since Samuel is out, and undrafted rookie Drake Nugent was added to give the interior offensive line some depth.

A huge key for the 49ers on Sunday will be keeping the players who are playing healthy. Defensive end Nick Bosa is playing through hip and oblique issues, and linebacker Fred Warner is playing with a broken bone in his ankle.

Ensuring nobody is dealing with anything throughout the offseason that might impact them next year will be more important than the final score at State Farm Stadium.
