San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has missed practice due to a hamstring injury, raising concerns about his availability for the upcoming game against the Rams. This injury comes at a critical time as fellow wideout Deebo Samuel is also expected to miss the game, increasing Kittle's importance to the 49ers' offense. Kittle had recently returned to his playing weight after recovering from offseason surgery, but this injury could hinder his performance.

• Kittle's hamstring injury could impact his availability for Week 3.
• With Deebo Samuel also out, Kittle's role becomes even more crucial.
