San Francisco 49ers Star ‘Not Expected To Play’ vs. Bears On Sunday
The San Francisco 49ers will not be at full power to open the 2022 season.
The NFC West franchise begins its 2022 marketing campaign on Sunday vs. the Bears in Chicago. It will likely be Trey Lance’s season debut.
Sadly, one of many 49ers’ high offensive weapons is not anticipated to play. George Kittle is “not anticipated” to play vs. the Bears in Week 1, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
“49ers’ TE George Kittle, listed as questionable for Sunday resulting from a groin harm, is just not anticipated to play vs. the Bears, per supply,” mentioned Schefter.
George Kittle is nursing a groin harm. It is not believed to be critical, however the 49ers aren’t going to be taking any dangers. It is a lengthy season.
Lance should depend on Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk within the season opener vs. the Bears on Sunday afternoon.

San Francisco remembers traffic victims 10 years into 'Vision Zero' commitment
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — It was a powerful symbol in San Francisco Sunday of the dangerous toll of our roads.
A vigil honored the hundreds of people killed on San Francisco streets as the city pushes to make them safer. This comes as San Francisco marks 10 years of “Vision Zero” efforts meant to stop traffic deaths.
Three hundred and seventeen pairs of white-painted “ghost shoes” lined up on the steps of San Francisco City Hall Sunday.
Each was with a name, every one of them representing someone killed on city streets–on bikes and scooters, in cars and on foot.
It was the total of victims since 2014, when the city committed to Vision Zero and efforts to reduce and eventually eliminate traffic deaths by making roads safer.

“We never want to contribute more ghost shoes to this memorial. It’s the hardest part to see this number grow,” said Jodie Medeiros, executive director of Walk San Francisco. Medeiros noted noted that while the overall number of victims is down so far this year, the number of pedestrians killed remains the same.
“The same number of pedestrians since the policy was passed in 2014. And Walk San Francisco being the pedestrian advocacy organization trying to make San Francisco the most pedestrian-friendly city, this does hit us the hardest, and this is why we do push on our city to make sure that our streets are safe for people walk,” Medeiros said.
Among the safety measures they’ve pushed for are speed cameras.
“We worked really hard. Walks in Francisco and families receive streets and getting the speed camera pilot to come to San Francisco,” Medeiros said.

Those efforts mean a lot to families like Jenny Yu’s. Her mom was hit by a speeding driver in 2011.
“A speeding driver turning left struck her with an SUV and threw her body to the other side of the road, where she needed to have surgery to remove her brain cap, because it was too much pressure, but they saved her,” Yu said, explaining her mom hasn’t been the same since. “She now needs 24/7 cae. She’s physically here, but she can’t be by herself.”
And, that’s why advocates are calling for another commitment from the city.
“San Francisco learned a lot in 10 years. So, how do we build on those learnings to make a really smart policy for the next decade?” Medeiros said.

Photos: San Francisco 49ers collapse in fourth quarter and lose to Seattle Seahawks
The Seattle Seahawks defeated the San Francisco 49ers 20-17 with a 13-yard rush into the end zone by quarterback Geno Smith in the game’s final minutes.
It was the 49ers’ third defeat this season via a fourth-quarter collapse, the others also coming against NFC West opponents — at the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3, and at home against the Arizona Cardinals on Oct. 6.
The Seahawks (5-5) snapped a six-game losing streak to the 49ers thanks in massive part to Smith’s heroics on the final drive. Smith completed 7-of-8 passes for 54 yards and had a 16-yard scramble two snaps before his touchdown. Smith overcame a sack by Leonard Floyd, all while Nick Bosa remained on the sideline with a new hip/oblique injury that forced him out in the third quarter and could shelve him longer.
Next up is a visit Sunday to the Green Bay Packers, who improved to 7-3 after winning in Chicago 20-19 on a blocked field goal as time expired.
