Drake London, Brock Bowers and George Kittle were among the NFL stars injured in Week 1 of the 2025 season. Those hurt in Thursday, Friday and Sunday games will be further evaluated to determine timelines for return.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Kittle would receive an MRI scan to determine the extent of his injury. Kittle caught four passes for 25 yards and a score before his exit. He watched the remainder of the game from the sideline. Wide receiver Jauan Jennings departed early with a shoulder injury. He will also undergo imaging.
