The San Francisco 49ers (12-4) managed to outlast the Chicago Bears in a Sunday Night Football shootout without George Kittle, but they may need the star tight end if they are going to survive the Seattle Seahawks’ top-notch defense on Saturday. While there are some injury updates worth monitoring coming out of Tuesday’s practice, fans received some good news regarding Kittle. He was a limited participant, according to NBC Sports Bay Area’s Jennifer Lee Chan.
Niners running back Christian McCaffrey and left tackle Trent Williams, two of the most important members of this squad, both sat out of practice. Therefore, the Kittle news is quite important. Considering how brilliant Brock Purdy performed versus the Bears, No. 85 could be getting healthy at the perfect time.
The 49ers have accomplished so much at less than full strength. If San Francisco can just keep its core players on the field for the final strength of the 2025-26 campaign, it could realistically compete for a Super Bowl in its own stadium. The 49er Faithful understand that making such a momentous run is far more likely if Kittle is operating at his All-Pro form.
