San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle continues to be sidelined with a toe injury, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. The star player was estimated as a non-participant on Wednesday and will also miss Thursday's practice session. Kittle suffered the injury during the team's victorious NFC Championship Game against the Lions last Sunday.

Shanahan remained tight-lipped about the specific details of the toe injury, simply describing it as "just a toe." The lack of additional information has left fans and analysts speculating about the severity of the issue, and how it might impact Kittle's availability for the upcoming Super Bowl.

In addition to Kittle, linebacker Oren Burks and cornerback Ambry Thomas will have limited participation in practice due to shoulder and ankle injuries respectively. The 49ers coaching staff is keeping a close eye on their progress as the team prepares for the grand finale.

Looking ahead, the 49ers are scheduled to continue their preparations with practices on Friday. Shanahan hinted that they may even consider working on Saturday to ensure they are well-prepared for the Super Bowl spectacle. Following their final practice session, the team will head to Las Vegas on Monday, where they will continue their Super Bowl preparations at the game's venue.

The absence of Kittle, an integral part of the 49ers' offense, is a cause for concern for fans and the team alike. His status for the Super Bowl remains uncertain, and his recovery will be closely monitored by the team's medical staff.

As the countdown to the Super Bowl continues, the 49ers will be hoping for positive updates on Kittle's injury and a swift recovery ahead of their clash against their yet-to-be-determined opponent. The team's success in the biggest game of the season may hinge on the health of their star tight end.
