George Kittle injury update and status vs. the Seahawks in Week 11
49ers' Pro Bowl tight end suffered a groin injury in Week 10
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle suffered a groin injury in the Week 10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers and is questionable to play in Week 11 against the Seattle Seahawks, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Kittle was injured on the 49ers' first offensive drive of the game and did not return. He was seen on the sideline with a wrap on his left thigh.
The 49ers are already without wide receiver Deebo Samuel (hamstring) and running back Elijah Mitchell (knee), so Kittle's absence would be a major blow to their offense.
Kittle's injury status for Week 11
Kittle is officially questionable for Week 11, but he is expected to play, according to Rapoport.
The 49ers will likely list Kittle as questionable all week, but he is expected to be a game-time decision.
Kittle has been one of the most productive tight ends in the NFL this season, with 47 catches for 542 yards and five touchdowns.
What to expect from Kittle in Week 11
If Kittle plays in Week 11, he is expected to be limited in some capacity.
He may not be able to play all of the snaps, and he may not be as effective as he normally is.
However, Kittle is a tough player, and he is expected to give it his all to help the 49ers win.
Fantasy football impact
Kittle is a must-start player in fantasy football when he is healthy.
However, he is a risky play in Week 11 due to his injury.
Fantasy owners should consider benching Kittle in Week 11, or at least have a backup plan in place.
