        George Kittle Expected to Miss Multiple Weeks

        George Kittle Expected to Miss Multiple Weeks

        Several reports have 49ers TE George Kittle missing multiple weeks with the hamstring injury he suffered in Sunday's win over the Seahawks. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports it'll likely be 3-5 weeks. His absence means more playing time for TEs Luke Farrell and Jake Tonges, but neither makes for an attractive addition in fantasy leagues right now. We'll see whether Kittle lands on IR, which would tell us more about his return timeline.

        The San Francisco 49ers have placed WR Brandon Aiyuk on the PUP list, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. He’ll miss at least the four weeks of the season.
