Further testing on the injury that knocked star tight end George Kittle out of the game revealed that he has a small fracture in his foot. According to a report from NFL Network, Kittle will miss extended time due to the injury. ESPN reported that Kittle will miss at least eight weeks.

Kittle's season may very well be over at this point. It's likely that Ross Dwelley will see additional snaps at tight end, and could be an immediate fantasy fill-in, while fullback Kyle Juszczyk should see increased usage as well. Kittle is key not only to the 49ers' passing game, but also their rushing attack. He's the best blocking tight end in the league, acting essentially as an additional offensive lineman. San Francisco may have to adjust some things in the run game to account for his absence, the story said. The team also lost QB Jimmy Garoppolo for an indefinite amount of time due to a lingering high ankle sprain.

X-rays Sunday on George Kittle’s ankle revealed no fracture.

Certainly good news but Kittle has further testing coming to determine any sort of damage to his ankle that took him out of Sunday’s loss to the Seahawks. Kittle finished with two catches for 39 yards as the reigning NFC champions fell to 4-4. We can certainly count him out for Week 9 as the 49ers have a short week, hosting Green Bay on Thursday night in a rematch of last season’s NFC Championship.

49ers RB Tevin Coleman left Sunday’s game against the Seahawks with a knee injury and was ruled out for the remainder of the game. It’s very unfortunate as he had just been activated from injured reserve. JaMycal Hasty took over as the lead back and has scored a touchdown, though Sunday has been pretty rough for the 49ers with Jimmy Garoppolo and George Kittle also limping off the field.

According to Nick Wagoner on Twitter, San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is looking forward to getting on the field on Sunday night.

Kittle has practiced for two straight days and suggested that if the Giants game was later in the season, that he likely would have been cleared to suit up. Kittle made it clear that he will return on Sunday night and should provide a big boost for the entire 49ers offense. He is our number four overall tight end for Week 4.

49ers star TE George Kittle returned to a full practice on Wednesday.

Kittle has sat out two games in a row after taking a nasty hit to his knee in Week 1. He apparently was close to playing last week, but the team decided to hold him out amidst concerns about the turf at Metlife Stadium. A full practice on Wednesday suggests Kittle should be ready to rock as an elite TE1 play in Week 4 vs. the lowly Giants.

49ers TE Jordan Reed will miss 6-8 weeks with a sprained MCL, according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Reed was injured on a low hit during their win against the New York Giants. Reed was placed on Injured Reserve.

Reed has never played a full 16-game schedule in his career. 2020 is no different. If George Kittle is sidelined again, Ross Dwelley will start at tight end for the 49ers.
