Levi’s Stadium will be set for a marquee showdown as it hosts one of the most important games of NFL Week 18. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">San Francisco 49ers</a> must defeat the Seattle Seahawks at home if they want to secure the division title, and having key offensive playmakers like George Kittle and Ricky Pearsall available will be crucial to getting the job done.



Brock Purdy knows it won’t be an easy task to take down their division rival—especially if he’s not at full strength with his weapons at his disposal. Ahead of kickoff, the <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-week-18-injury-report-player-statuses-for-all-16-games">NFL’s official website</a> listed both players as questionable, although there is a strong chance that each will be available for the game.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> insider Adam Schefter revealed that Pearsall will be evaluated right up until game time before a final decision is made: “I don’t think they’re gonna make decisions on Ricky Pearsall and Trent Williams until pregame warmups. Both are gonna be tested to go. Both are gonna be challenging. We’ll see if either one can make it back. I think the 49ers are hopeful, but uncertain either one can play.”



Meanwhile, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/george-kittle">George Kittle</a>’s situation appears more optimistic, according to what David Lombardi reported on X. “George Kittle ‘absolutely’ plans to to play Saturday. There was very little doubt before and there is now zero doubt he will be suited up for the biggest game of the season.”

<h2>What injuries are affecting Kittle and Pearsall?</h2>



Ricky Pearsall is currently managing a dual injury to his knee and ankle, both sustained during the Week 15 victory against the Tennessee Titans. While his ankle sprain occurred early in that game, he later aggravated a pre-existing PCL irritation in his knee—an issue that had already sidelined him for six games earlier this season.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/christian-mccaffrey-on-the-verge-of-a-rare-nfl-record-entering-49ers-seahawks-in-week-18"></div>


Meanwhile, George Kittle is recovering from a mid-to-low ankle sprain suffered during the Week 16 MNF matchup against the Colts. Kittle was injured in the third quarter following what he described as a “hip-drop” tackle; although he tried to play through it, the ankle stiffened up, forcing him to miss the subsequent game against the Bears.



<h2>The impact of Kittle and Pearsall on the 49ers’ offense</h2>



Despite their recent injuries, both players have been vital to the 49ers’ offensive identity this season. George Kittle remains the engine of the passing game, hauling in 52 receptions for 599 yards and leading the team with 7 touchdowns, averaging 11.5 yards per catch as a premier red-zone threat. 



Also, Ricky Pearsall has emerged as a dangerous deep threat; although he is still searching for his first professional touchdown, his 36 receptions for 528 yards and impressive 14.7 average per catch have provided the vertical stretch the offense needs.

As the San Francisco 49ers have already secured a playoff spot this season, they are preparing to face one of the most surprising teams of the regular season: The Chicago Bears. The Bears have delivered an outstanding performance so far and are keen to maintain their momentum in the final games. In their Week 17 matchup against the 49ers, they might face the challenge of playing against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/george-kittle" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">George Kittle</a>.



However, George Kittle’s participation in today’s <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> Week 17 clash between the 49ers and the Bears remains uncertain, as he has been listed as questionable on the latest injury report. He has been dealing with an ankle injury for the past few days, and according to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, is “highly unlikely” that he will play.



This game means more than just a victory; the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">49ers</a>‘ position in the standings is also on the line. There are concerns about the implications of a potential loss to the Bears, which is why the fanbase is eagerly anticipating an exciting matchup today.



Meanwhile, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-bears" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bears</a>‘ fanbase is similarly concerned about the repercussions of losing to the 49ers in this game. The presence of their best players is crucial, with much at stake for both franchises as they look ahead to next year’s playoffs.

The playoffs are now a reality for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">San Francisco 49ers</a>, and their Monday Night Football win over the Colts opened the door for three other teams to clinch a postseason berth. George Kittle was one of the night’s standout performers, though he was unable to finish the game at full strength.



Midway through the second quarter of the game, the TE suffered a scare when one of his ankles appeared to get caught in the turf while running a route. Defensive coverage and the artificial surface were among the factors that may have contributed to the setback.



“My concern level? I don’t think it’s a high-ankle sprain, so we’ll take it one day at a time and go from there,” <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/george-kittle">Kittle</a> said during his press conference. “It happened in the second quarter. I feel like I got hip dropped, ankle got stuck in the grass or the turf, the cork turf, really weird field. 



“Tried to tape it up, went in in the third quarter, really got worse from there. If I can’t run very fast or plant I think it’s better to have other tight ends in there making plays.”

<h2>George Kittle’s season in the Bay</h2>



George Kittle continues to be a vital asset for the San Francisco 49ers’ offense this season, showcasing his elite playmaking ability and reliability. With 52 receptions for 599 receiving yards, he has consistently moved the chains while maintaining a solid average of 11.5 yards per catch. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/kurt-warner-reveals-which-star-qb-he-believes-would-be-an-upgrade-over-brock-purdy"></div>


Furthermore, his 7 touchdowns highlight his efficiency as a premier red-zone threat, proving once again why he remains one of the most dominant tight ends in the league.



<h2>The race for the NFC’s No. 1 seed</h2>



The San Francisco 49ers control their own destiny in a high-stakes race for the NFC West and the conference’s top seed. Currently battling the Seahawks, Rams, Eagles and Bears for positioning, San Francisco will look to capitalize on its final two games at Levi’s Stadium. 



By hosting both the Bears and the Seahawks at home, the 49ers have a golden opportunity to leapfrog their rivals and secure home-field advantage for the postseason.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/george-kittle">George Kittle</a> has tallied 396 yards and contributed five touchdowns in his eight appearances this 2025 season. While his solid numbers have helped the team win, the tight end still can’t believe how far he and the San Francisco 49ers have advanced this year given the extensive injuries they’ve faced.



“If people had said that you guys were going to be 9-4 into the bye and you weren’t going to have [Fred] Warner, [Nick] Bosa, Kittle was going to miss five weeks, and Brock [Purdy] was going to miss the first 6-7 weeks, I think a lot of people would have laughed,” Kittle said after the win against the Browns.



Kittle’s sentiment is understandable; with so many teammates injured, including himself, reaching this level of success wasn’t the expectation this year. However, it’s a challenge the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">49ers</a> have been managing for some time, and they have historically reached the playoffs despite similar issues.



<h2>Kyle Shanahan echoes Kittle’s relief</h2>



Following the Browns game, Kyle Shanahan also spoke about how tough the weeks have been leading up to the Bye Week and the chance to finally rest, especially with a 9-4 record that offers the team some peace of mind.



<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560"><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/49ers?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#49ers</a> HC Kyle Shanahan on the team being 9-4 &amp; finally getting to their bye week: “I love where we’re at right now.

“I love where we’re at right now. I believe we’d be in the playoffs today if it started. It’s been a long wait for a bye week — I’ve never had one this late; I don’t know if anyone on our team has — but it’s finally here. Mentally and physically it’ll be awesome to rest, and then be able to come back from that with four games to play and a chance to get into the playoffs.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/george-kittle-net-worth"></div>


<h2>The 49ers’ remaining schedule</h2>



The final four games of the regular season look quite manageable for the 49ers. After the bye week, they will play the Titans at home (one of their last two home games of the regular season). Their other remaining opponents are the Colts, Bears, and Seahawks.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/george-kittle">George Kittle</a> didn’t hold back after Brock Purdy’s return, calling his presence “elite” and praising the way the quarterback commands the huddle. “How he talks to the players. He plays with a joy that’s so infectious,” Kittle said, describing a spark that immediately lifted San Francisco’s offense. “It’s so much fun to play football with him.”



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/christian-mccaffrey">Christian McCaffrey</a> echoed that energy, saying Purdy stepped back onto the field like he’d never been gone. “He was vintage Brock. That’s a huge compliment,” McCaffrey said, pointing to the poise and precision Purdy brought to the 41–22 win. “To miss games like that and come back in the middle of the year is extremely impressive.”



Both stars made it clear: <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brock-purdy">Purdy</a>’s return changed the tone of the locker room and the confidence of the offense. Between his “infectious joy” and his “vintage” decision-making, the 49ers felt their rhythm return instantly. And based on what unfolded in Arizona, their belief in him was more than justified.



<h2>Purdy, Shanahan react after statement win</h2>



Purdy himself admitted the moment meant more than just another Sunday. “I would just say a lot of excitement,” he said after throwing for 200 yards, three touchdowns, no interceptions, and taking just one sack. Returning in his home state made it even more emotional: “My comeback is here, where I grew up in Arizona, which is special.”



<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">"I would just say a lot of excitement. I&apos;m always excited every Sunday, but to come back after missing six weeks… My comeback is here, where I grew up in Arizona, which is special.

He emphasized that the performance wasn’t about individual numbers, even though his efficiency told the story of the night. “All that mattered was playing together as a team and getting the dub,” Purdy said, proud of how the offense executed from start to finish. The 49ers moved to 7–4 overall and 5–2 on the road with the win.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/brock-purdy-net-worth"></div>


Kyle Shanahan didn’t compare Purdy to anyone else, because he didn’t feel he needed to. “You just have to look at his numbers and stuff throughout his career. Not many people have done it better than him,” Shanahan said. He highlighted Purdy’s consistency: “He’s been as efficient as anyone and made as many big plays as anyone.”

After the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">San Francisco 49ers</a>’ home loss to the Los Angeles Rams, veteran tight end George Kittle wasn’t shying away from expectations. “We are incredibly talented, and we still have guys coming back,” Kittle said, maintaining confidence in a roster built for a deep run. “Mac’s been playing so well, so people are talking about controversy, but Brock’s an amazing quarterback, and that’s why we paid him so much money.”



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/george-kittle">Kittle</a>, who has played in 12 postseason games across four years but still chases his first ring, believes this group has everything needed to compete again. “At some point, we’ll get Ricky and Brandon back,” he noted. “We have a lot of talent. We can score a ton of points, and I believe our defense will get a little bit better every single week.”



The 49ers have made the playoffs three times in the last five years, with their most recent deep run coming in 2023 when they reached Super Bowl LVIII before falling to the Chiefs. Despite the setback this season, Kittle’s message was clear, the 49ers aren’t backing down, and their playoff push is far from over.



<h2>Is there still a path to the playoffs for the 49ers this season?</h2>



The 49ers’ situation isn’t catastrophic; a 6-4 record is not the end of the world, but they must find a way to win more games. The recent crushing loss at home was painful and shattered the momentum they had built in Week 9 after winning on the road against the Giants.



<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">“We are incredibly talented, and we still have guys coming back.

Following the game against the Rams, the 49ers face three “easy” games before their <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> bye week: the Cardinals, Panthers, and Browns. These matchups should be perfect opportunities for Kittle and his teammates to secure wins and head into the break with a winning streak under their belts.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/george-kittle-net-worth"></div>


“If the 49ers manage to get to the playoffs it’s going to have to be 100% on the shoulders of the offense. Put up 30+ a game and hope to outlast. Luckily, they still have some very winnable games ahead,” wrote Dontay Atkinson of ReachNorth Media on X.

Kittle sends warning about 49ers playoff chances after tough home loss to Rams

Each year, several players suffer tough injuries — it’s part of the game. However, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/george-kittle" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">George Kittle</a> believes the NFL has not taken proper care of players’ health, even though it could.



Football, as a contact sport, cannot completely avoid injuries — players understand that. Nevertheless, injuries have become more frequent in recent years, and George Kittle believes he knows the reason behind it.



The star tight end of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a> recently addressed the multiple injuries his team has suffered. He thinks the NFL should pay more attention to the fields, their conditions, and how players can better prepare for each game.



<h2>George Kittle believes the NFL should standardize playing surfaces</h2>



In the NFL, there are 15 stadiums with synthetic turf and 15 with natural grass. The Jets and Giants share MetLife Stadium, and the Chargers and Rams share SoFi Stadium — both with turf.



According to George Kittle, this is the main reason why more and more players are getting injured. The star tight end doesn’t believe turf is inherently bad, but switching every week between synthetic and natural grass could be the reason behind the increase in severe injuries in recent years.



Kittle has a point. Players usually train on the playing surface of their home stadium, and when they travel to play on a different surface, they often have to change cleats or adjust their preparation. This inconsistency prevents them from having a standardized way to train and perform each week.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-kyle-shanahan-suggests-49ers-may-have-suffered-yet-another-season-ending-injury"></div>


“My only issue is with is, like, when someone’s field is, like, the butt of a joke throughout all of social media, constantly, like on every NFL meme page, everybody jokes about how bad it is, I feel like at that point, someone should just take a look at it, and let’s not make it a — no NFL field should be the butt of a joke, ever,” George Kittle said about MetLife Stadium’s surface.



Mykel Williams of the 49ers is the perfect example. Levi’s Stadium, home of the 49ers, uses natural grass. This weekend, they visited the Giants at MetLife Stadium, and the rookie defensive end had to leave the game due to a torn ACL, probably due to not preparing correctly for synthetic turf.



<h2>Natural grass or synthetic turf — what will the NFL choose first for all stadiums?</h2>



Standardizing all 30 NFL stadiums is a very challenging task. Some use natural grass due to favorable weather conditions, while others prefer synthetic turf because it’s easier to maintain.



If the NFL ever decides to standardize the playing surface, it’s more likely to be synthetic turf. Not all venues have the proper weather conditions to sustain natural grass, especially those located in rainy or snowy regions.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a> have a Sunday Night Football showdown against the Atlanta Falcons. After being plagued by injuries, the team from the Bay is still awaiting for names, to recover. Among those, George Kittle, Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall are some of the players who people are wondering if they’ll show up for the game.



Good news for tight end <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/george-kittle" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">George Kittle</a>, who was activated from IR after missing five weeks due to a hamstring injury and will play tonight vs. the Falcons. Head coach Kyle Shanahan also said he won’t have any limitations and won’t have a pitch count either.



Kittle is a key part of the offense so it’s really important for him to be able to provide support for the quarterback on short routes. However, Kittle is also one of the best blocking tight ends in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>. His support goes beyond just catching passes.



<h2>Is Ricky Pearsall suiting up vs. Atlanta?</h2>



Ricky Pearsall is one of the team’s best wide receivers but a knee injury has limited his output this season. The Niners had luck with Kittle, but Pearsall was ruled out for the game against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/atlanta-falcons" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Falcons</a>.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251019_BUS_511743_ricky-pearsall-1024x576_a2559b60.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Ricky Pearsall #1 of the San Francisco 49ers" class="wp-image-498507" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Ricky Pearsall #1 of the San Francisco 49ers</figcaption></figure>



Pearsall has a PCL injury in his right knee and the 49ers want him healthy down the stretch so they won’t risk him suffering another blow that could potentially sideline him even further. Plus, wideout Kendrick Bourne has been very good in Pearsall’s absence, making the Niners confident on their roster to let their player recover properly.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/fred-warners-49ers-season-might-not-be-over-if-the-team-reaches-the-super-bowl"></div>


<h2>Is Jauan Jennings playing against the Falcons?</h2>



Another wide receiver that has been dealing with injuries is Jauan Jennings. However, his output may be in question. Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, Jennings is playing with five broken ribs, high and low ankle sprains and he barely recovered from a calf injury suffered in preseason.



While Jennings will play, he clearly won’t be playing at 100% capacities. With how the team has suffered this season due to injuries, Jennings is going way beyond his call of duty. Jennings is also looking for a new contract and playing injured could play against him stats wise. Having said that, the 49ers should appreciate Jennings’ effort and repay him.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/george-kittle" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">George Kittle</a> suffered a hamstring injury in the season opener and was placed on injured reserve (IR), forcing him to miss at least four games under NFL rules. With anticipation growing among the San Francisco 49ers, head coach Kyle Shanahan addressed the potential return of one of his team’s biggest stars.



Kittle’s injury has had a direct impact on the 49ers’ game, as the team missed the presence of their experienced 31-year-old tight end despite their overtime victory over the Los Angeles Rams. Fans across <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco</a> are eager to know when they will have him back on the field.



Just like last season, injuries are shaping the 49ers’ journey this year. In addition to Kittle’s absence, Brock Purdy has also been dealing with a toe injury. Even though San Francisco has managed to stay competitive, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyle-shanahan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shanahan</a> has provided an update.



<h2>When will Kittle return to the 49ers?</h2>



Kyle Shanahan told reporters on Friday that it is “a long shot” for Kittle to play in Week 6, making it more likely that the veteran tight end will return in Week 7, when San Francisco faces the Atlanta Falcons.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251003_BUS_502848_George-Kittle-1024x576_171dcf95.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="George Kittle" class="wp-image-334262" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>George Kittle of the San Francisco 49ers</figcaption></figure>



According to Shanahan, Kittle’s hamstring injury hasn’t shown signs of being fully healed yet, and the franchise doesn’t want to push a player who will not only be crucial during the regular season but also a key figure in a potential playoff run.

The situation also carries implications for the coaching staff and offensive scheme. Shanahan mentioned that the Niners could open the practice window for Kittle, a period of up to 21 days in which he can return to practice, but made it clear that doing so wouldn’t guarantee his immediate activation for Week 6.

The San Francisco 49ers’ season began on an unfortunate note with quarterback Brock Purdy sidelined due to an injury, expected to keep him out for 2 to 5 weeks. At the same time, tight end George Kittle is on injured reserve. The outlook seemed bleak, but the franchise could have good news regarding the return of star running back <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/christian-mccaffrey" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Christian McCaffrey</a>.



McCaffrey has returned to the field after a long recovery and played a standout role in helping the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">49ers</a> secure an important victory over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season. Despite facing injuries to Purdy and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/george-kittle" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kittle</a>, the franchise remains optimistic about the return of their key offensive weapon.



Despite a brief exit during practice, McCaffrey rushed for 142 yards on 31 carries against the Seahawks. In addition to providing an optimistic update on <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brock-purdy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Purdy</a>’s situation, 49ers general manager John Lynch highlighted the versatility of the 29-year-old running back in his return to action.



<h2>Lynch’s comments on McCaffrey’s physical condition</h2>



“I know there was a lot of talk, and probably some form of PTSD from last year, and he got a little tight out of practice. Yeah, there was kind of an ominous feeling out there on Thursday when he pulled himself, and the trainers decided to keep him out. But shortly thereafter, we felt like we had averted anything significant here,” Lynch said in an interview with Bay Area radio station KNBR.

“The guy’s just such a good football player. Whether it’s running the football inside, running the football outside, catching the football out of the backfield, or split out as a receiver, screen game, he just does everything well. And the cool thing is to know that Christian is just getting going. He’s going to keep playing at a high level because that’s just who he is,” Lynch added.

<h2>McCaffrey confirms he feels no pain</h2>



Last season, McCaffrey suffered a calf injury that sidelined him for several weeks. He also experienced minor issues with his ankles and hip, limiting his participation. Now fully recovered, the 49ers star dismissed any concerns about his absence from last week’s practice. “It was nothing serious,” McCaffrey said this week.

San Francisco 49ers tight end <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/george-kittle" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">George Kittle</a> has been placed on injured reserve following a setback sustained before the clash with the Seattle Seahawks. This development deals a significant blow to the 49ers’ strategic blueprint, as Kittle, a cornerstone of their offense, is slated to miss several pivotal games at the outset of the regular season.



With a commanding victory over the Seahawks, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">49ers</a> have launched their regular season on a high note. This triumph marks a significant turnaround following last season’s failure to secure a postseason berth, a stark contrast to their impressive run to the Super Bowl in 2023, where they ultimately fell to the Kansas City Chiefs.



With the score settled at 17-13, the 49ers now turn their focus to their upcoming weekend clash against the New Orleans Saints. The Saints, eager to notch their first win of the season, will be looking to capitalize on every opportunity against San Francisco. The matchup promises to be pivotal for both teams as a fervent 49ers fanbase rallies behind them in what could be a defining game for the Saints’ season.



Nonetheless, before their daunting showdown with the Ravens, the 49ers must address the absence of tight end George Kittle, who will miss several upcoming games. While his absence presents a challenge, the team is poised to make an impact in the NFL standings. The resilience and depth of the 49ers will be tested as they navigate the hurdles that lie ahead.

</div></figure>



<h2>Which games will Kittle sit out?</h2>



Being on the injured reserve list mandates that Kittle will sit out for four critical matchups, significantly impacting the 49ers’ lineup. As a result, Kittle will be absent in contests against the New Orleans Saints, Arizona Cardinals, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Los Angeles Rams, leaving a notable void in the team’s offensive arsenal.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/san-francisco-49ers-grant-three-year-45-million-extension-to-key-brock-purdy-teammate"></div>


“As Ian Rapoport reported Monday, Kittle was expected to miss 3-5 weeks so he was almost certain to miss 4 games regardless. The logical target for his return is now Week 6 at Tampa Bay on Oct. 12,” <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> insider Tom Pelissero wrote on his X account about Kittle’s potential return.



With this panorama already complicated for the 49ers, there is hope that everything will go through, and the fan base is excited about thinking in Kittle as recovering from a worryless injury that will make him just be apart from the roster for four days.

In the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">San Francisco 49ers</a>’ 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 team’s debut got off to a rough start at Lumen Field when it comes to injuries — not only because of what <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/george-kittle">Kittle</a> contributes on the field but also for the emotional support he provides to his teammates.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250907_BUS_487634_jake-tonges-1024x576_7d490ab2.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Luke Farrell" class="wp-image-487652" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Luke Farrell #89 of the San Francisco 49ers.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>What happened to George Kittle?</h2>



The season didn’t start off well for San Francisco — at least physically. According to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> insider Ian Rapoport, George Kittle was forced to leave the field with a hamstring injury.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/49ers-christian-mccaffrey-reveals-his-admiration-for-the-playstyle-of-one-of-his-teammates"></div>


“49ers TE George Kittle was ruled out for the rest of the game with a hamstring injury,” the insider reported via @RapSheet.


 


It will be a matter of waiting for the necessary tests to determine the severity of the injury and how much recovery time will be needed for one of the team’s key players.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a> have a tough task as they want to reach the Super Bowl. The NFC is really hard to predict and win. However, in the AFC, the Kansas City Chiefs have a total domain. For George Kittle, one team can really threaten Patrick Mahomes and company.



For <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/george-kittle" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kittle</a>, the Las Vegas Raiders are serious candidates to have a great season, but it all depends on two things: Pete Carroll and edge rusher Maxx Crosby. “That’s a Pete Carroll team. That’s what they do. I like the vibe here. Let Maxx Crosby be Maxx Crosby, and they’re going to have a great year,” Kittle said to reporters.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pete-carroll" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Carroll</a> was the mastermind of the famously vicious Legion of Boom, one of the most terrorizing defenses in NFL history. He must be salivating to coach Maxx Crosby, one of the best rushers in the league. As Kittle said, if you let Maxx Crosby do his thing, results will come.



<h2>Crosby unfairly lives on the shadows</h2>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/maxx-crosby" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Crosby</a> has the numbers to be regarded as one of the best pass rushers. However, when the conversation arises, names like T.J. Watt, Myles Garrett and Micah Parsons are the ones that spearhead that conversation. Realistically, Crosby deserves to be in that tier.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250816_BUS_473785_Maxx-Crosby-1024x576_8a05585c.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Maxx Crosby #98 of the Las Vegas Raiders reacts after a defensive stop in the second quarter of a game against the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium on November 17, 2024 in Miami Gardens, Florida." class="wp-image-280112" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/27144829/Maxx-Crosby-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/27144829/Maxx-Crosby-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/27144829/Maxx-Crosby-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/27144829/Maxx-Crosby-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/27144829/Maxx-Crosby-740x416.jpg 740w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/27144829/Maxx-Crosby-490x275.jpg 490w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/27144829/Maxx-Crosby-250x140.jpg 250w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/27144829/Maxx-Crosby.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Maxx Crosby #98 of the Las Vegas Raiders reacts after a defensive stop in the second quarter of a game against the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium.</figcaption></figure>



He averages 10.5 sacks per season and has gone to the Pro Bowl four seasons in a row. He’s also led the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> twice in tackles for loss. Crosby is really a game wrecker. He will be the face of this Raiders defense.

<h2>The Raiders are pointing to a 180° turn</h2>



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Raiders</a> have been one of the worst-handled franchises in recent years. From the failed Ja’Marcus Russell, who is labeled as the worst bust in NFL history, to the Antonio Brown fiasco and Josh McDaniels bad experiment as head coach, it seems like finally the Raiders are on a good path.



They brought a proven NFL veteran to be their quarterback in Geno Smith. They brought one of the few coaches that have a College and Super Bowl ring in Pete Carroll. Carroll also joined forces with Chip Kelly, who should become one of the best offensive coordinators in the league. All signs point to success from now on as they challenge the Kansas City Chiefs and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Patrick Mahomes</a>‘ dynasty.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a> are in a weird spot in the NFL. While their Super Bowl window might be closing, they still feel like they can compete with the top dogs. Having a star like George Kittle helps, getting rid of a playmaker like Deebo Samuel not so much. However, it seems like Kittle had something to say about Samuel leaving the team.



While sometimes there is bad blood, this is not the case. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/george-kittle" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kittle</a> appeared on the Bussin’ With the Boys podcast and said, “I’m happy for him that he went to Washington. Guys need a fresh start sometimes, and he wanted a fresh start, and so, I’m very happy for him. I’m sad that I don’t have him on my team anymore because I just loved having him around the locker room and stuff like that. But I’m happy for him.”



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deebo-samuel" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Samuel</a>‘s role in San Francisco was starting to decline due to multiple injuries. This means he needed a place else to restart his career and it seems Washington is that place.



<h2>Samuel will be key for Washington, but he has help</h2>



Samuel is not going to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-commanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Washington</a> to be their first weapon. They already have that in Terry McLaurin, who is in his own contract dispute himself. However, Samuel is there to be the jack-of-all-trades player on offense.

Having Deebo, who can lineup as a wide receiver and a running back, opens the playbook for an already dynamic unit in Washington. Samuel will be the one in charge of being a difference maker on the field.

<h2>Kittle and Samuel might face in the playoffs</h2>



The 49ers and Commanders won’t face each other during regular season but that doesn’t mean a game between them won’t happen. If things align themselves, a playoff game is not out of question.



After all, both teams are projected to not only be in the playoffs, but go on a deep run. Samuel will try to lead his new team, while battling old teammates and friends turned footballing foes.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/george-kittle">George Kittle</a> might be one of the most charismatic players in the league — and without a doubt, one of the most talented at his position. The San Francisco 49ers continue to enjoy having him on their roster, but many are starting to wonder: how much longer will the star tight end play in the NFL?


 


The former Iowa Hawkeyes standout began his journey in 2017, after being selected by the Bay Area team with the 146th overall pick in the fifth round. Now heading into his ninth season with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">49ers</a>, Kittle will once again aim to reach the Super Bowl alongside his teammates.



The 31-year-old tight end, in a recent appearance on the Bussin’ With The Boys podcast, was asked how much longer he plans to play professional football. Kittle responded by saying he’ll keep going until the day he no longer finds joy in the game.



“Literally until I don’t have fun anymore,” Kittle said. “Or if [his wife] Claire looks at me and goes, ‘You kinda look like (expletive) out there, you should retire.’ I’ll be like, ‘All right.’



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250625_BUS_426802_george-kittle-niners-1024x576_f3b8a090.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="George Kittle is one of the leaders of the 49ers" class="wp-image-419160" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/15164951/george-kittle-niners-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/15164951/george-kittle-niners-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/15164951/george-kittle-niners-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/15164951/george-kittle-niners-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/15164951/george-kittle-niners-740x416.jpg 740w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/15164951/george-kittle-niners-490x275.jpg 490w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/15164951/george-kittle-niners-250x140.jpg 250w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/15164951/george-kittle-niners.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>George Kittle #85 of the San Francisco 49ers celebrates after a touchdown catch during the third quarter against the Dallas Cowboys at Levi’s Stadium on October 08, 2023 in Santa Clara, California.</figcaption></figure>



“I don’t know, I think if I get to 35 and it hurts to put pants on in the morning, I think I’ll be like, ‘Ah, this isn’t that much fun anymore,’ and I’ll have a conversation with myself. But I’m feeling great right now.“


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/brock-purdy-might-lose-key-teammate-due-to-a-bad-decision-from-the-49ers"></div>


<h2>Excitement for what’s ahead</h2>



Last season didn’t go as expected for the 49ers — not just in terms of results, but also in overall performance and physical setbacks. George Kittle is well aware of the situation and is now focused on approaching what’s next with renewed energy and full commitment.



“The one benefit of not making the playoffs is you get an entire month off,” Kittle explained. “I haven’t had January off since 2020. Mentally and physically, I’m lightyears ahead of where I was the last two years, which is pretty fun.”


 


It will be a matter of waiting until Week 1 to truly see where the tight end stands — and whether he can, in fact, lead his 49ers to a strong <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season.
