The 49ers present the Bears with plenty of concerns when they meet in the season opener today, but they will not have All-Pro tight end George Kittle.
Kittle, who also missed the game when the 49ers visited the Bears last season, was out of practice all week with a groin injury.
On the Bears’ side, it was unlikely that rookie wide receiver and returner Velus Jones would be cleared after missing practice Wednesday through Friday because of a hamstring injury, and he has been ruled out.
Here are the Bears’ inactives for Week 1:

In addition, here’s a look at the field conditions as Soldier Field has been hammered by rain since the early morning:
The facility has always grass problems, and Bermuda sod was installed Monday in advance of this game.
