The San Francisco 49ers returned to practice Tuesday in preparation for their second preseason game against the Denver Broncos. They’ll fly to Denver Thursday night, and then on Friday and Saturday, the Niners will have a joint practice with the Broncos.
Three key players sat out of Tuesday’s practice. Tight end George Kittle was sidelined with calf tightness. You have to imagine if it were a game he would have played. There’s no need for him to push any injury in August.
Wide receiver Deebo Samuel was excused from practice due to personal reasons.
