George Kittle Likely to Miss Week 11 with Hamstring

George Kittle Likely to Miss Week 11 with Hamstring

ESPN’s Adam Schefter writes that 49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) is “unlikely” to play Sunday vs. Seattle. Per Schefter, Kittle's injury "is not considered a long-term injury," and the TE is expected to return next week vs. Green Bay. We’ll know his official status around 2:30ET today, but fantasy managers should certainly make other plans. View our Week 11 TE rankings.

49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk tore the ACL and MCL in his right knee in the Week 7 loss to the Chiefs, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "There may be other damage," Rapoport adds. Aiyuk will miss the rest of the 2024 season. And any "other damage" to his knee could impact his availability for the start of the 2025 campaign. We'll keep you updated on Aiyuk's diagnosis and timeline for return.

49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said after Sunday's loss to the Chiefs that "we're worried" WR Brandon Aiyuk has a torn ACL. "Not confirmed yet," Shanahan added. We should get an update on Aiyuk tomorrow, but a torn ACL would end his 2024 season. His absence would mean target boosts for WR Deebo Samuel and TE George Kittle -- and put WR Jauan Jennings back into weekly starter consideration.
