San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle plans to test his injured hamstring prior to Sunday’s game against the visiting Seattle Seahawks, but multiple reports indicate he’ll be sidelined for the Week 11 game.
Kittle felt discomfort in the hamstring earlier in the week. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said the team wasn’t concerned about a major or long-term absence.
The Seahawks won’t be sad to see Kittle sit out after he reeled in two TD passes in San Francisco’s 36-24 win in Seattle on Oct. 10. Kittle has seven touchdown catches in his past five games against the NFC West rival.
ESPN reported the 49ers (5-4) don’t want to risk re-injury with the expectation Kittle will be ready to roll for the Week 12 date with the Green Bay Packers (6-3).
A five-time Pro Bowl selection, Kittle would be replaced by Eric Saubert in the starting lineup.
Kittle leads NFL tight ends with seven touchdown receptions in 2024 and is second at the position with 560 receiving yards.
