The San Francisco 49ers are placing their All-Pro tight end, George Kittle, on IR. They did rule him out for the next 3-5 games, but now Kittle will miss at least the next four games. It will also open up a roster spot during that time.
The severity of George Kittle’s hamstring injury meant he was set to miss multiple games. Given San Francisco’s congested early-season schedule and a banged-up roster, the 49ers opt for IR to create flexibility as Kittle heals. More from yesterday on Scoop City: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAFp…
