NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Defensive tackle James Thompson returned to limited practice after missing a day, providing a boost following Alfred Collins' recent knee injury.
- Defensive end Nick Bosa and tight end George Kittle remained limited ahead of Thursday's season opener, with both recovering from significant injuries and expected to have restricted playing time.
- Bosa, who had knee surgery after an ACL tear, has been cleared to play but the extent of his participation is uncertain.
- Kittle is still working back from an Achilles tear suffered in January and may also be on a snap count if he plays.
- Several other players, including linebackers Luke Gifford and Dre Greenlaw, and fullback Kyle Juszczyk, continued limited practice, while cornerback Upton Stout fully participated.
