SANTA CLARA \u2013 Kyle Juszczyk, the 49ers\u2019 perennial Pro Bowl fullback, could be out until November with a hyperextended right knee from Sunday\u2019s 24-14 home win over the Denver Broncos<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He won\u2019t be the only starter missing when the 49ers (3-0)<\/a> visit the Seattle Seahawks (2-1) on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The 49ers\u2019 defense will be without defensive end Nick Bosa and safety Marques Sigle, the latter of whom sustained a high-ankle sprain against Denver, coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday on a media conference call.<\/p>\n

Bosa has missed the past two games<\/a> with a calf strain. Also slated to be out a third straight game is rookie defensive tackle James Thompson Jr.<\/p>\n

Cornerback Upton Stout\u2019s shoulder sprain has him day-to-day as the only other reported injury from Sunday\u2019s win.<\/p>\n

Juszczyk underwent postgame testing that did not reveal any season-ending ligament damage, Shanahan confirmed Monday on a media conference call.<\/p>\n

However, he sustained a knee sprain and bone bruise, ESPN first reported. Juszczyk got hurt once upended by Jahdae Barron\u2019s right shoulder to the fullback\u2019s knee on a 16-yard reception that opened a fourth-quarter touchdown drive.<\/p>\n

Backup tight end Brayden Willis filled in some for Juszczyk and helped block on Christian McCaffrey\u2019s drive-ending touchdown run.<\/p>\n

DEFENSIVE FRONT<\/p>\n

The 49ers did not sack Broncos quarterback Bo Nix but a patchwork defensive front earned kudos from Shanahan, including the efforts of Sebastian Valdez and Romello Height.<\/p>\n

Mykel Williams will be integrated further into team drills this week as he\u2019s eligible to make his season debut Sunday, if the 49ers activate him off the Physically Unable to Perform List.<\/p>\n

RIVALRY TALK<\/p>\n

Shanahan did not downplay the 49ers\u2019 \u201chuge\u201d rivalry with the Seahawks and simply noted: \u201cThey\u2019re always tough games. It\u2019s been that way for years and before we got here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said Monday he hadn\u2019t yet studied film on this season\u2019s 49ers but said of them on his weekly radio show, on Seattle Sports 710: \u201cThey\u2019re playing great team football. They\u2019re winning in all three phases. Seems like they\u2019re explosive on offense and finishing drives and doing all the things you\u2019re supposed to do, and defensively it seems like they\u2019re playing great football as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Special-teams ace Siran Neal said after the 49ers\u2019 win Sunday that he\u2019s kept a video on his phone of the Seahawks\u2019 game-opening kick return for a touchdown in last season\u2019s 41-6 divisional-playoff loss. \u201cI\u2019m glad Siran uses it as motivation and I\u2019m sure a number of players do,\u201d Shanahan said. \u201cWe\u2019re a much different team now and I don\u2019t like to correlate things to another year.\u201d<\/p>\n

OVER AUSTRALIA<\/p>\n

The 49ers leave Levi\u2019s Stadium after winning three games there in the wake of their season-opening victory in Melbourne, Australia. Shanahan is glad the 49ers \u201ctook care of business\u201d but not a fan of the scheduling.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was kind of silly to act like three home games in a row is any benefit. We were acclimated after getting five days to rest, you know, getting back Friday and not practicing until Wednesday. Australia was over by that Wednesday. It\u2019s always nice to get three home games but I just means you\u2019ll be on the road for three in December.\u201d<\/p>\n

EVANS UPDATE<\/p>\n

Wide receiver Mike Evans\u2019 five-catch, 76-yard effort did not lead to any known setbacks with his injured ribs, Shanahan said. \u201cI\u2019m sure he\u2019s in a lot of pain; they usually are after something like that,\u201d Shanahan said.<\/p>\n

Wide receiver Christian Kirk is not expected to start practicing this week while he remains on Injured Reserve with a calf injury from the first day of training camp.<\/p>\n

PURDY-TO-KITTLE STAT<\/p>\n

Brock Purdy and George Kittle make up the NFL\u2019s best quarterback-receiver battery since 2000 in terms of Purdy\u2019s 139.6 passer rating on throws to Kittle. That is tops among 1,044 tandems with 100-plus attempts, according to The Associated Press\u2019 Josh Dubow in citing SportsRadar.<\/p>\n

Kittle\u2019s 56th regular-season touchdown catch fittingly came on a 56-yard gem to clinch Sunday\u2019s win, and it pushed him past Vernon Davis for fourth-most in 49ers\u2019 history.<\/p>\n

Kittle has caught touchdown passes from seven quarterbacks in his 10-year career: Purdy (29), Jimmy Garoppolo (17), C.J. Beathard (2), Mac Jones (2), Brandon Allen (1), and Brian Hoyer (1).<\/p>\n

Kittle has seven touchdowns in his past four games in Seattle; he did not play in last year\u2019s divisional-round playoff loss because of an Achilles tear the previous game.<\/p>\n

PENALTY SITUATION<\/p>\n

The 49ers are drawing the fewest penalties per game. Although they\u2019ve been flagged a NFL-low 23 times, only 17 were enforced. They got penalized twice in their opener against the Los Angeles and once in Sunday\u2019s win over the Denver Broncos, and those efforts bookended the seven penalties enforced in each win over Miami and Arizona.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve done a good job staying disciplined,\u201d Shanahan said. \u201cThere were a number times we got too close to it where we thought somebody would get a penalty. We did a good job of avoiding it in the second half, because of things we talked about at halftime to watch out for.\u00a0 We\u2019ve been playing pretty clean football. \u2026. They\u2019ve let us play a lot with the crews we\u2019ve gotten.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Seahawks committed 14 penalties in their win Sunday over the Los Angeles Chargers, and that included seven personal fouls that Macdonald deemed unacceptable. Those included unnecessary roughness (three), roughing the passer (two), unsportsmanlike conduct (one) and personal foul (one).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SANTA CLARA \u2013 Kyle Juszczyk, the 49ers\u2019 perennial Pro Bowl fullback, could be out until November with a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":486739,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[13734,2333,949,402,1533,181,752,182,101,296,103,102,104,106,105,127],"class_list":["post-486738","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-49ers-hq","tag-editors-picks","tag-football","tag-inside-sports","tag-keywee","tag-latest-headlines","tag-nfl","tag-pm-report","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-49ers","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/486738","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=486738"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/486738\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/486739"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=486738"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=486738"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=486738"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
