The San Francisco 49ers face the New England Patriots at 1:05 p.m. PDT on Sunday, Sept. 29 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara.
The Niners are likely to get Deebo Samuel and George Kittle back from injury after both missed last week's collapse loss to the Rams in Los Angeles. Brock Purdy is also all set to go after some concern about his back early this week. Unfortunately for them, they will still be without Christian McCaffrey, who remains on injured reserve, and others including Javon Hargrave, who appears to be out for the season with a torn triceps.
