49ers | Rough night for George Kittle Mon Feb 12, 12:14 AM
Updating previous reports, San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury during the team's Super Bowl LVIII loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, Feb. 11.
Footballguys view: Kittle was able to return to the game but finished with just two receptions for four yards. He was targeted three times. You have to look beyond the box score to see how Kittle impacts the game as a blocker in addition to what he does as a receiver. He was banged up going into this game, so he was going to give it his all just to be out there on Sunday. |

Footballguys view: This game features two of the best tight ends in the modern era; Kittle and Travis Kelce. They'll both be security-blanket targets with big-play ability. Kittle is not 100 percent, but he'll give it his all in the big game. |

49ers | George Kittle not worried about availability Tue Feb 6, 09:59 AM
San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (toe) is not concerned about his availability for Super Bowl LVIII even though he missed some practice last week because of a toe injury, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
Footballguys view: It's the Super Bowl, so Kittle will be out there at less than 100 percent. We think the rushing attacks for both teams will be the difference in the game. You can run on the Chiefs, and Kittle should be out there blasting open holes for Christian McCaffrey. Once the run is established, expect Kittle to be on the other end of some play-action passes from QB Brock Purdy. |

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle had seven catches (on nine targets) for 90 yards against the New York Giants on Thursday, Sept. 21.
Footballguys view: Kittle has put his preseason adductor injury behind him and took advantage of the absence of Brandon Aiyuk to post his first big stat line of the year. This should help take the guesswork out of whether to play Kittle in Week 4 vs. Arizona even if Aiyuk is back. |
