The San Francisco 49ers received encouraging news as tight end George Kittle and wide receiver Deebo Samuel returned to practice in a limited capacity.<\/p>\n

Kittle, who is working through a foot sprain suffered in Week 7, shared his thoughts on the team\u2019s unexpected struggles after practice.<\/p>\n

The Pro Bowl tight end offered a detailed analysis of the 49ers\u2019 challenges, pointing to turnovers as a major concern.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think my No. 1 answer is we\u2019re plus-two in the turnover category, but we\u2019ve turned the ball over in all the games we\u2019ve lost, a lot,\u201d Kittle said, via 95.7 The Game.<\/p>\n

\n

George Kittle with a long answer about why the 49ers have struggled:<\/p>\n

\u201cI put most of the pressure on our offense.\u201d pic.twitter.com\/2jVaU3E3Wd<\/p>\n

He also highlighted a second-half scoring drought against the Arizona Cardinals and their unusual situation with three different kickers this season, though he refused to use the latter as an excuse.<\/p>\n

Despite mounting pressure, Kittle maintains confidence in the offense\u2019s potential.<\/p>\n

With a roster full of veterans who understand the system, he believes execution rather than pressure is the key issue that needs addressing.<\/p>\n

The Week 7 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs exposed these challenges when injuries depleted the receiving corps.<\/p>\n

Brandon Aiyuk\u2019s season-ending knee injury, Deebo Samuel\u2019s absence due to pneumonia, and Jauan Jennings\u2019 hip issue forced the Niners to rely on inexperienced players.<\/p>\n

The sudden loss of two starting receivers disrupted the offensive rhythm, particularly after spending the week\u2019s preparation focused on plays designed for Samuel and Aiyuk.<\/p>\n

Kittle stressed the importance of maintaining drives, converting third downs and capitalizing in the red zone.<\/p>\n

Despite the recent setbacks, he expressed unwavering faith in head coach Kyle Shanahan\u2019s ability to guide the team forward.<\/p>\n
