49ers injury update: TE George Kittle to play Week 1 vs. Steelers
Tight end George Kittle will suit up for the 49ers in their season opener against the Steelers according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Schefter on Saturday night reported Kittle is expected to play after being listed as questionable on the injury report.
Kittle injured his groin in training camp and then aggravated the injury in the preseason finale. He was limited all week in practice.
Last season Kittle missed the season opener but went on to haul in a career-high 11 touchdowns. He also posted 765 yards on 60 receptions in 15 games.
