George Kittle Missing Practice Again Thursday
3 years agoSan Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (calf) is missing his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Kittle followed the same routine last week before returning to practice on Friday and playing in the Week 4 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He also played 92 percent of the offensive snaps, although he finished with just four catches on 10 targets for 40 yards. The Arizona Cardinals, San Fran's Week 5 opponent, have been tough on tight ends so far this year, but the Niners should need to throw the ball often in what should be a high-scoring affair. Kittle should see plenty of targets if he plays, and he could be a valuable safety blanket if rookie quarterback Trey Lance is forced to make his first career start. As long as Kittle is active, he's a must-start. Ross Dwelley would see a much bigger role if Kittle is out.
