49ers down three offensive weapons

49ers TE George Kittle was not spotted at practice today and is experiencing tightness in his hamstring, per source. With no practice today, his status for Sunday’s game vs. the Rams is in question. (Adam Schefter on X)

Nerdy Football Analysis: Yet another injury for San Fransisco. In addition to Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel, the 49ers are likely to be without Kittle for their Week 3 matchup against the Rams. Eric Saubert has been working as the backup tight end but has just 3 targets in two games.

Missed Week 2 with hamstring injury

#Jaguars coach Doug Pederson says TE Evan Engram, who injured his hamstring in pre-game warmups on Sunday “is a little bit further away.” Sounds like at least very much up in the air for MNF. (Ian Rapoport on X)

Nerdy Football Analysis: Get plan B in place. It sounds like Engram is going to miss Week 3 with his hamstring injury. Brenton Strange filled in for Engram last week against the Browns and posted a 3-65-0 line on six targets. Zach Ertz also plays Monday night and could be a fill-in if he’s on your waiver wire.

Cam Akers prepping for increased role in Week 3

Texans running back Cam Akers, with Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce sidelined, preps for increased role against his former team #Vikings @KPRC2 (Aaron Wilson on X)

Nerdy Football Analysis: Mixon injured his ankle in Week 2, came back into the game, the left again. With Pierce battling a hamstring injury, we could see Cam Akers get the start in Week 3 against the Vikings. Stay tuned as we’ll learn more as the week goes on.
