The San Francisco 49ers will need to be at full strength if they want to upset the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Championship game. After a slew of key 49ers players sustained injuries in their win over the Packers, Kyle Shanahan provided a critical update on a few of the Niners' stars. Via Adam Schefter, Shanahan revealed that both George Kittle and Deebo Samuel were removed from the injury report. Trent Williams is still on the injury report, but Shanahan said that he expects the star offensive lineman to be on the field this weekend.
šGeorge Kittle: Not on injury report today, good to go Sunday.

šDeebo Samuel was not on injury report today and Kyle Shanahan said Samuel told him, āKyle, I got you!ā

šTrent Williams did not practice today, but Shanahan said, āHe believes he's playing, and so do I.āā Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) January 26, 2022
Regarding Kittle, Shanahan revealed the star tight end had been removed from the injury report and was good to go for Sunday's clash with the Rams. Kittle was seen limping off the field late in the win against the Packers, but it seems he's managed to avoid any significant ailments.
For insight on the 49ers' NFC Championship matchup against the Rams, listen below:
Shanahan had a similar report on Samuel, who was a critical component of the 49ers' success against Green Bay. Samuel took a beating in the contest, as he was called upon to make big plays as a receiver, running back, and even a kick returner. Despite the obvious pain Samuel was in just this weekend, it seems as if he'll be back in action on Sunday.
Williams, on the other hand, has a less clear outlook, however, both he and Shanahan are operating under the impression that he'll suit up for the NFC Championship game. Williams was spotted limping to the sidelines on multiple occasions against the Packers, but the ankle injury he's dealing with isn't expected to force him to miss the clash at SoFi Stadium.
