George Kittle still believes the San Francisco 49ers have the "right guys" with the NFL trade deadline looming after the loss to the Houston Texans.

The 49ers have been dealing with a lengthy injury list but players are gradually returning - among them, their star TE.

The number of injuries the 49ers have had to deal with so far this season is almost mind-boggling. On offense, quarterback Brock Purdy has only played in two games, while several of the team’s key playmakers, such as Kittle, Brandon Aiyuk, Jauan Jennings, and Ricky Pearsall, have all missed time with their own injuries.

When the San Francisco 49ers finally picked up a first down Sunday against the Houston Texans they were already down by 16 points and there was less than a minute left in the first half.
