Unlike last year’s opener, the 49ers will have tight end George Kittle in uniform as they visit the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Jake Moody makes his first field goal attempt as a professional, a 41-yarder that came after a 46-yard attempt was blocked by an offsides rusher. An interception by Charvarius Ward set up the 49ers with a short field.Brock Purdy finds Brandon Aiyuk in the end zone for the 49ers’ first score of the season, capping a seven-play, 54-yard drive. Aiyuk shook Patrick Peterson to the ground to get open.
Kittle was listed as questionable because of a groin issue, which he aggravated in the preseason finale after it first surfaced a month ago in training camp. A year ago, Kittle missed the 49ers’ first two games because of a groin injury. Kittle’s availability should be good news from Brock Purdy, who connected with Kittle on seven of his career-high 11 touchdown catches last season. Kittle has at least four catches in each of his previous season openers, including eight receptions in the 2019 opening win at Tampa Bay. Two weeks after that game, Kittle had six catches in the 49ers’ 24-20 win over the Steelers at Levi’s Stadium.
Inactive are quarterback Brandon Allen , guard Nick Zakelj, defensive tackle Kalia Davis, linebackers Dee Winters and Jalen Graham, tight end Brayden Willis and running back Ty Davis-Price. The Steelers’ inactive are quarterback Mason Rudolph , cornerback Desmond King, offensive tackle Dylan Cook, receiver Gunner Olszewski and defensive lineman Armon Watts.
