49ers' George Kittle and Fred Warner expected to play against Cardinals
Why it matters: The availability of star tight end George Kittle and linebacker Fred Warner will have a significant impact on the San Francisco 49ers' game against the Arizona Cardinals.
Kittle, dealing with a rib injury, returned last week and made an immediate impact with four catches for 45 yards and a touchdown.
Warner, who suffered a sprained ankle, received positive news from additional imaging, alleviating concerns about the injury.
What's new: A source confirms that both Kittle and Warner are expected to be available for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Yes, but: While their presence is undoubtedly a boost for the 49ers, it remains to be seen if they can perform at their usual high level given their respective injuries.
What to watch: Keep an eye on the impact that Kittle's receiving ability and Warner's leadership on defense can have in shaping the outcome of the game.
The bottom line: Having Kittle and Warner back on the field provides the 49ers with valuable weapons on offense and defense, enhancing their chances of securing a victory against the Cardinals.
