George Kittle said he plans to return in Week 7 vs. the Falcons after revealing his hamstring was fully torn in the 49ers’ opener.

Not long after nearly losing a fumble on a sack, Mac Jones finally unravels for the 49ers, tossing a deep pick to Jamel Dean that just might seal a home victory for Tampa Bay, which is getting heroic stuff from its own gunslinger in Baker Mayfield:

Defensive coordiantor Robert Saleh is hopeful his youth-laden defense can play through mistakes and respond well enough to Fred Warner’s exit.

According to Draft Shark’s injury tracker, Kittle has now missed 23 games in nine seasons with injuries ranging from a foot fracture in 2020 that sidelined him for six games, to a calf strain that forced him to miss three games in 2021.

The two big stick-ups come to the draft cost and the contract. Barton would fetch a fourth-round pick, according to Knox. That is not a lot, but the 49ers need their draft capital. A sixth would make it a no-brainer, but do the Titans get enough back in that deal?
