The San Francisco 49ers will be without one of their most important offensive weapons for the foreseeable future. Pro Bowl tight end George Kittle is expected to be sidelined for multiple weeks after suffering a hamstring injury, according to reports.
Kittle has long been a central piece of the 49ers’ offense, providing both elite pass-catching ability and a major presence in the run-blocking game. His absence leaves a noticeable void for quarterback Brock Purdy and head coach Kyle Shanahan’s offensive scheme, which often relies heavily on the tight end position.
The timeline for Kittle’s return remains uncertain, but hamstring injuries can be difficult to manage and often linger if not fully healed. San Francisco will likely take a cautious approach to ensure their All-Pro tight end is healthy for the stretch run of the season.
