US EditionExpert Release New 49ers vs. Falcons Prediction After George Kittle Injury Update
Kittle plans to return after missing five games with a partial hamstring tear, helping the 49ers maintain a 4-2 start in the NFC West, sources said.
- On Thursday, San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle said `I fully plan on playing on Sunday`.
- Kittle injured his right hamstring after 22 snaps while running a deep route in the season opener, and the tear did not completely detach from the bone, shortening recovery time.
- This week the 49ers opened his practice window and he was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday, reporting steady improvement and saying it's been "very difficult" with limited snaps .
- A Kittle return would boost the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7 against the Atlanta Falcons, but if activated for Sunday the team must make a corresponding roster move.
- With five contests missed so far, George Kittle will finish with at most 12 games this season, the second-fewest of his career despite mostly durable previous seasons.
