- George Kittle update from Aaron Wilson: “One source characterized Kittle’s status as being fluid but emphasized the groin injury is “not good,” adding that it would be optimal for him to rest and rehab for a week or two. Another source called it a Grade 2 strain that has limited Kittle’s top-end speed. One of the top tight ends in the game and well known for his toughness, Kittle wouldn’t shock anyone if he opted to play through the injury. Nonetheless, his chances of playing nearly the entire season are considered much more likely if he sits out the season opener and doesn’t further aggravate the injury.”
- Kittle missed three games last season due to a calf injury but still caught 71 passes for 910 yards and six touchdowns. He has previously injured his foot, knee, and hamstring.
- The 49ers have solid depth at the position, with Charlie Woerner, Ross Dwelley, and Tyler Kroft as stand-ins if Kittle misses time.
- 3-time Pro Bowl selection. 1st-team NFL All-Pro in 2019
- George Kittle Contract: Signed that 5-year, $75 million contract which made him the highest paid tight end before 2020 season.
