The San Francisco 49ers' injury report from their final practice of the Super Bowl bye week was unchanged from Thursday.

But the concern level about the two key starters on that report should be significantly less despite their lack of practice time.

George Kittle and Arik Armstead once again missed practice, but the former moved to extinguish any thought of his injury being an issue during Super Bowl week.

Injury report observations

Kittle spoke in a press conference after practice and the tight end said there was no concern over what he described as a "lower extremity injury".

That indicates he will back on the practice field when the 49ers head to Las Vegas, and there should be optimism around Armstead as well.

Despite not having a game this weekend, the 49ers were required to release a Friday status report and, though they did not practice this week, both Kittle and Armstead were listed as good to go.

The only player who had a game status was defensive tackle was Kalia Davis, who was listed as questionable. The 49ers have yet to activate Davis after opening his 21-day practice window before the NFC Championship Game.

Nine days away from the Super Bowl, that status report is a clear indication that the 49ers are simply exercising extreme caution with Kittle and Armstead.
