One player on the San Francisco 49ers’ final injury report going into Super Bowl LVIII has an injury designation, which is a great indication for a franchise trying to win its first NFL championship in 29 years. The lone 49ers player with an injury report that is uncertain for Sunday is defensive tackle Kalia Davis (ankle).
For the 49ers this season, Davis has only played 54 defensive snaps; he hasn’t played any in the postseason. Despite being reported as a full participant in Friday’s practice, he might be designated as a game-day inactive come Sunday.
From the 49ers’ initial injury report on Wednesday, things have undoubtedly altered. During the team’s first practice of the week, tight end George Kittle (toe) and defensive lineman Arik Armstead (knee/foot) were limited. By Friday, they had been promoted to full participants and were not classified as injured.
After being limited practice participants for the whole previous week, linebacker Oren Burks (shoulder) and cornerback Ambry Thomas (ankle) were both limited on Wednesday. By Friday, they were 100% involved as well.
The 49ers are one victory away from winning their sixth Super Bowl overall and their first since 1994. It’s been a long journey for San Francisco, who are looking to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs, who defeated them in Super Bowl LIV four years ago, and move on from years of disappointing postseason performances.
As we approach Super Bowl Sunday, the 49ers are in rather good shape.
In a rematch of Super Bowl 54, the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs will play on Sunday in Las Vegas. Nonetheless, the 49ers, who lost to the Chiefs 31–20 in 2020, will be hoping for a different result.
The 49ers, who are starting the game as FanDuel-1.5 favourites against the Chiefs, the defending Super Bowl champions, have been among the NFL’s most complete teams this season. CBS will broadcast live coverage of the game from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas beginning at 6:30 p.m. ET.
Due to a toe injury, Kittle missed all of practice last week, raising apparent concerns that one of the 49ers’ top playmakers might not make it to the Super Bowl. Kittle did, however, appear to be a limited participant in Wednesday’s injury report, which is encouraging and should continue to trend in the right direction.
Furthermore, during their media appearances earlier this week, Kittle and Kyle Shanahan expressed optimism that the All-Pro tight end will play for the 49ers on Sunday.
Armstead, Arik
Armstead missed practice last week, much like Kittle. Armstead, on the other hand, has been battling numerous injuries to his foot and knee, unlike Kittle. He showed up for practice on Wednesday, but he was not present for Thursday or Friday. Again, though, the 49ers have cause for optimism as Armstead participated in practice just partially on Wednesday and may be getting more practice time in the coming days. Should he do so, there’s a greater chance he’ll start for the 49ers.
Burks, Oren
Due to a neck ailment, Burks was only partially involved in practice the week before, missing the 49ers’ two playoff games. This season, the 49ers have benefited greatly from the depth of the former Packers linebacker, though he may be rusty.
following two games’ absence. But Burks was still on the Wednesday list as limited participant. It’s a hint that he might be moving in the right way as well.
