<p>San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle was activated from injured reserve Saturday after missing five games due to a hamstring injury.</p>

<p>Defensive tackle Kevin Givens (pectoral) also was activated from the IR ahead of the Sunday night home game against the Atlanta Falcons.</p>

<p>Kittle was injured in the second quarter of the season opener against the Seattle Seahawks. He told reporters this week that he "fully" tore the hamstring.</p>

<p>Kittle, 32, caught four passes for 25 yards and one touchdown before exiting in Week 1.</p>

<p>The six-time Pro Bowl selection has topped 1,000 receiving yards four times during his stellar career. He is in his ninth season.</p>

<p>Givens will be making his season debut. He sustained his pectoral injury during training camp.</p>

<p>Givens, 28, is his seventh season with San Francisco. He has 90 tackles and eight sacks in 65 games (14 starts).</p>

<p>San Francisco also put star linebacker Fred Warner (ankle) on the IR. He sustained the season-ending injury in last week's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.</p>

<p>The 49ers also released tight end Brayden Willis, promoted defensive lineman Trevis Gipson to the 53-man roster from the practice squad and elevated receiver Malik Turner and offensive lineman Nick Zakelj from the practice squad for Sunday's game.</p>

<p>Mac Jones is again starting at quarterback for the 49ers after Brock Purdy (toe) was ruled out for the fifth time in six games.</p>
