Tight end George Kittle practiced for the second straight day as he works back from a low-ankle sprain that sidelined him against the Chicago Bears. When asked if he expects to play Saturday against the Seattle Seahawks, Kittle didn't hesitate: "Absolutely."
Running back Christian McCaffrey and fullback Kyle Juszczyk also returned to practice after Tuesday's off day. McCaffrey has been managing back stiffness but is expected to be available for Week 18. Juszczyk suffered a hip injury against Chicago but is trending toward playing against Seattle.
Not spotted at practice were left tackle Trent Williams and defensive end Keion White. Williams exited on the first offensive play against the Bears due to a hamstring injury and did not return. His status for Saturday remains uncertain. White is working through a groin injury sustained in the same game.
General manager John Lynch addressed Williams' outlook during a Wednesday radio appearance, noting the challenge of a short turnaround.
"We will have to be smart," Lynch said, "and it is a tall task to turn around on the hamstring injury that he had, but he's making every effort. We'll see if he gets there."
Below are Wednesday's practice participation reports for both the 49ers and Seahawks, which were provided by the 49ers Communications staff.
