In the San Francisco 49ersâ season opener, one of their top stars, George Kittle, had to leave the game against the Seattle Seahawks. Kyle Shanahan and Brock Purdy will need to look for other options on offense.
One of the most talented tight ends not only on the team but in the league had to leave the field due to injury, prompting the staff to explore other options at his position.
Who are the other two tight ends available to the head coach going forward? They are Luke Farrell and Jake Tonges, with Farrell being the one most likely to get targeted by the QB during the game.
The Bay Area teamâs debut got off to a rough start at Lumen Field when it comes to injuries â not only because of what Kittle contributes on the field but also for the emotional support he provides to his teammates.
