San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle continues to deal with a hamstring injury, practicing on a limited basis as the team prepares for their Week 4 matchup against the New England Patriots. After missing Week 3, Kittle's participation in practice raises hopes for his return, but he will need to upgrade to full participation to avoid any designation for the upcoming game.

• Kittle's limited practice indicates he is making efforts to return after missing Week 3.
• His status for the upcoming game against the Patriots remains uncertain and will depend on Friday's practice.
