George Kittle’s Injury Before The Game

The San Francisco 49ers released an injury report announcing George Kittle, the American football tight end, did not play for two games this season due to “ankle soreness,” the team said. In their report, the team said they saw George in the locker room walking without a limp and took this into concentration with an injury that has bothered him since Halloween. George and his team miss each other a lot but are sure he’ll come back on Sunday to play against the Green Bay Packers. However, there a still some concern as George did not participate in San Francisco’s Wednesday practice due to his injury from Saturday’s victory against Minnesota Vikings.

Kittle’s value to the 49ers is still incredibly high, but his absence would be a major development in San Francisco’s Sunday meeting with the Green Bay Packers for the NFC Championship.

“We’re never going to decide on Kittle too early in the week,” Shanahan said back in November.”He’s always got a chance with some of the stuff he’s been able to go through here in these last couple of years.

“You can’t rule Kittle out. He’s earned it.”

Kwon Alexander wore a blue non-contact jersey on Wednesday’s practice workout. The 49ers were most likely being cautious with the linebacker as he continues to progress in his return from a pectoral tear.

Meanwhile, at the Packers camp, Wide receivers Geronimo Allison and Ryan Grant did not practice on Wednesday. Later on, Allen Lazard became a member of the practice report while dealing with an ankle injury.

“I’ve been a 49ers fan for over 20 years, and seeing someone from the team kinda hurts me in a weird way,” said Mary Ann.

Do you think George Kittle will be able to play on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers?

“I don’t know for sure, but in my opinion, I think it is better for him and the team to leave him out.”

“It’s good to see the 49ers are taking care of each other and making sure their teammates do not have any athletic problems,” said Daivish Lakhani.

What are your concerns about the football team’s players?  

“I guess my main concern is players physical health,  because if they have any injuries what so ever right now. They could make themselves worst if they play on Sunday’s game.”
