As the San Francisco 49ers prepare for their Week 11 battle with the Seattle Seahawks, the Niners appear to be getting one of their offensive stars back on the field this week, as George Kittle returned to practice on Thursday following a minor hamstring injury.

Unsurprisingly at this early part of the week, the San Francisco 49ers are playing it safe with their stars.Speaking before Wednesday's practice and revealing their preliminary injury report, head coach Kyle Shanahan revealed both George Kittle (hamstring) and Nick Bosa (hip) would miss the opening session of their preparations for Sunday's clash with the Seattle Seahawks.

The San Francisco 49ers kicked off their Week 11 practices with a handful off injury issues keeping players from practicing in full. In total, nine players were either absent from the session or limited.
