George Kittle Health, Injury Updates & History

Missed Week 3 with a hamstring injury that was aggravated causing him to miss Week 11, beyond that had a healthy, productive season

Listed as questionable with an ankle and hamstring injury ahead of Sunday's game vs the Cardinals, he was limited in practice this week, it's worth noting that the 49ers have been eliminated from playoff contention

Kittle says he's gonna play, we shouldn't believe that all he had was hamstring tightness, we believe he had a hamstring strain, he is as tough as they come and he has played through injuries before, besides he has a lot of value in the run game blocking scheme, he’s not just a downfield threat, we expect him to play against the Packers but he may not be 100% with his hamstring strain

Has what was described as “hamstring tightness” that may have occurred during the practice week, if he does have tightness, he could play W12, but if it's a strain, he would have to miss some time

Missed the Week 11 game against the Seahawks due to hamstring injury that caused him to miss practice time last week

Has been nursing a rib injury since Week 4 and has played through that and hamstring injuries as well, listed as questionable for TNF against Seattle and the 49ers have elevated TE Brayden Willis from the practice squad

He is off the injury list and is expected to play this Sunday vs the Patriots, he had been working through a hamstring injury

Continues to miss practice, with his hamstring injury, likely out but if he indeed plays he will be ineffective and likely used as just a blocker

Was not seen at practice late in the week and has experienced tightness in his hamstring, this adds to a litany of injuries with the 49ers already down Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel, Kittle's status for Sunday has yet to be officially determined

George Kittle dealt with a groin strain early in the season and a toe injury in the playoffs. Despite these issues, he had a stellar season, ranking in the top 10 in targets (89, 9th), receptions (65, 10th), receiving yards (1,020, 1st), and touchdowns (6, tied for 2nd). This offseason, he underwent surgery to address a core muscle injury and also dealt with an AC joint injury that prevented him from lifting weights, leading to a temporary loss of 30 lbs. Kittle has since regained the muscle and is expected to be at full health for the start of training camp.
