The 49ers’ top two active return men were injured Sunday, as Michael Robinson sustained a right shoulder stinger in the first half and Arnaz Battle exited with a right leg strain.

Starting wide receiver Josh Morgan returned two kickoffs for 101 yards, including a 76-yarder that set up a 49ers’ touchdown. Spare safety Reggie Smith recorded three punts for 7 yards in Battle’s absence.

Others on the 49ers’ preliminary injury report were Brown (left knee contusion), guard David Baas (left ankle), safety Mark Roman (ribs contusion), Reggie Smith (groin), safety Marcus Hudson (back spasms) and tight end Delanie Walker (left forearm).

Tony Wragge replaced Baas and played the entire second half.

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
