The 49ers aren’t expecting to have tight end George Kittle for their season opener vs. the Bears. Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reported Kittle, who is officially listed as questionable on the injury report, will likely be inactive for Sunday’s game.
Kittle hurt his groin the Monday before practice for the regular season began. He didn’t practice at all throughout the week which was a strong sign he wouldn’t play in Chicago. The club was hopeful he’d play though which is why they gave him a ‘questionable’ designation.
