Kittle, McCaffrey Back in Action as Purdy Leads Fiery 49ers Practice

Two stars return to 49ers practice—George Kittle off PUP and Christian McCaffrey back after a planned rest—fueling a spirited session led by Brock Purdy, who traded pointed banter with Fred Warner before delivering a big gain to Deebo Samuel. Purdy’s leadership and Kittle’s reconnect with the offense boost hopes for sharper two-tight-end looks, while McCaffrey’s load-management plan is on display. The 49ers head to Week 1 in Melbourne vs. the Rams; Nick Bosa is ramping up behind the scenes, Romello Height is out with an undisclosed injury, and undrafted James Thompson Jr. is pushing to earn a roster spot as decisions loom.

Kittle Calls for Grass-Only NFL Stadiums After World Cup Grass Rollout

49ers tight end George Kittle urged the NFL to switch all home stadiums to grass after 11 NFL venues installed grass for the 2026 World Cup, arguing the effort proves grass is feasible for the league. The NFLPA released the statement on his behalf. While several teams currently play on grass, concerns about climate, agronomy, and other events, plus data on higher non-contact injuries on artificial surfaces, keep turf in use. FIFA’s grass mandate for the World Cup contrasts with the NFL’s status quo, making a league-wide switch unlikely in the near term.

49ers chase a speedy rookie fit, UDFA shakeup, and a hopeful Kittle return

The article highlights the 49ers’ interest in Stribling as a versatile, speed-enabled rookie who could fill the Deebo Samuel/Jauan Jennings-style role and thrive in Shanahan’s offense, aided by his 4.36-second 40-yard dash and strong YAC/blocking profile. It also notes ongoing evaluation of the 2026 draft class and reports eight undrafted free agents signing with the team. Separately, George Kittle provided a cautious but optimistic update on his Achilles rehab, saying he’s ahead of schedule and hopeful to play next season, though fans should stay realistic about the timeline.

49ers weigh tight end depth as Kittle recovers, shaping 2026 draft plans

San Francisco remains hopeful George Kittle will be ready for the 2026 opener after his Achilles injury, which could ease immediate need at tight end. Nevertheless, with six draft picks and the possibility of adding a pass-catching option at No. 27 if Oregon’s Kenyon Sadiq is available, the 49ers may still target tight end prospects like Sadiq, Eli Stowers (Vanderbilt), Sam Roush (Stanford), Jack Endries (Cal/Texas), or Michael Trigg (Baylor) while Tonges remains in the mix and Farrell provides blocking depth.
