George Kittle Expected Back Next Week
3 years agoThe San Francisco 49ers expect tight end George Kittle (calf) to return in Week 9 against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Kittle is currently on Injured Reserve and will miss one more game this weekend. Ross Dwelley hasn't exactly taken advantage of Kittle's absence, catching just three of his four targets for 30 scoreless yards in the last two games with Kittle on the sidelines. In his four games before the injury, Kittle hauled in 19 of his 28 targets for 227 yards, but he has yet to catch a touchdown in 2021. Despite a disappointing start to the season, Kittle should return to all starting lineups as a high-end TE1 in fantasy next week against the Cardinals.
