What Happened to George Kittle? 49ers TE Suffers Massive Injury vs. Seahawks
George Kittle sustained a hamstring injury during Week 1, leading to his absence and leaving the 49ers with limited tight end depth as they adjust their offensive strategy.
- During the Week 1 matchup at Lumen Field, the 49ers lost their tight end George Kittle to a hamstring injury, forcing him to leave the game against the Seattle Seahawks.
- Kittle exited late in the first half after four catches, 25 yards, and a touchdown that gave the 49ers the initial 7-0 lead in the game.
- The injury occurred in the second quarter and ended Kittle's promising start, forcing the 49ers to rely on backup tight ends Luke Farrell and Jake Tonges, both healthy but less experienced.
- Kittle previously missed two games with hamstring injuries in 2024 and joins a list of key 49ers players lost for extended periods, including Christian McCaffrey and Brandon Aiyuk.
- The 49ers face a thin tight end depth chart without Kittle, and the injury’s duration remains uncertain, raising concerns over their offensive options moving forward.
