George Kittle Ruled Out For Week 3
4 years agoSan Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (knee) has been ruled out for Week 3 against the New York Giants. He will miss his second-straight game while he continues to deal with a sprained left knee. Kittle had been practicing on a limited basis the past few days, but the team is proceeding with caution for the star tight end. Jordan Reed, who caught two touchdowns in Week 2, stands to benefit most from Kittle being sidelined. However, keep in mind that Reed will be catching passes from backup quarterback Nick Mullens in the game, as the team's starter Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) has also been ruled out. Kittle seems to have a decent chance to make his return in Week 4 as long as he doesn't have any setbacks.
