The San Francisco 49ers have battled all season. They have lost many star players to injury at some point such as Nick Bosa, Fred Warner, and Brock Purdy. Despite this, they were close to winning the NFC West, and George Kittle was a key factor in staying competitive.
However, a loss in Week 18 against the Seahawks changed all their plans. They lost a valuable week of rest and had to face the playoffs on the road. Surprisingly, they overcame their first obstacle by defeating the Eagles.
Now, trying to reach the Super Bowl, a rematch with Seattle is looming, but in devastating news, Kittle will not be available. Another heavy blow in a year plagued by injuries across the roster.
