A brutal injury update has come out today on star tight end George Kittle and the San Francisco 49ers.

The San Francisco 49ers have placed tight end George Kittle on the IR after the star tight end suffered a hamstring injury in the team's season opener against the Seattle Seahawks. Last season, the 49ers were decimated by injury. It appears that is going to be the case in 2025 as well.

The San Francisco 49ers will place tight end George Kittle on injured reserve due to his hamstring injury, prompting a mandatory absence of at least four games.
