George Kittle and Charvarius Ward sat out Thursday's practice with injuries for the 49ers, who are already dealing with injuries to Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel.

Bryce Young on Thursday admitted he was surprised when Panthers coach Dave Canales benched him in favor of veteran Andy Dalton, but he also took responsibility for statistics that were historically bad.

Jonathan Taylor, who did not play a single snap in the Colts' loss to the Packers last Sunday, defended his coach on Thursday, citing the need to use the team's other running backs, and his own shortcomings in passing situations.
