Will George Kittle play for the 49ers against the Patriots? NFL Week 4 injury status
The San Francisco fans didn’t get to see their influential tight end against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3, but hopes have been raised for a return.
As important a piece of news for fantasy football players as it is for head coach Kyle Shanahan, his teammates and fans of the San Francisco 49ers, we check out the likelihood of George Kittle featuring against the New England Patriots in Week 4.
Kittle should play against Patriots
And it’s positive vibes for all but the New England franchise as the news is that the key tight end will return after missing out last week against the LA Rams, a game they lost.
Kittle is certainly trending towards playing given he made full practice on Friday and has not been given any injury designation following his hamstring issue. The same, albeit for a back problem, can be said for quarterback Brock Purdy, as the Niners look to get back to winning ways fast.
In less optimistic news, RB Christian McCaffrey remains on the road to recovery while Deebo Samuel and Trent Williams have been deemed questionable. Even worse is news of the season-ending torn ACL suffered by linebacker Curtis Robinson. The 49ers and Patriots meet at the Lvei Stadium on Sunday at 16:05 ET.
