In Short: San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan expressed concern over key players' availability for their opener against the Rams, as tight end George Kittle and defensive end Nick Bosa remain on track to play despite injuries.

Kittle and Bosa, two of the team's star players, are expected to suit up for the game, though Shanahan is uncertain about their exact playing time.

Collins, the team's probable starting nose tackle, was injured during practice and is likely to miss extensive playing time, a blow to the 49ers' defensive lineup for the season opener.
