George Kittle suffers hamstring injury with the 49ers

The San Francisco 49ers received some bad news at the start of the 2025 NFL season. Their star tight end, George Kittle, went down with a hamstring injury, setting off alarm bells in the California organization.

Kittle, considered one of the best at his position in the entire league, left the field visibly uncomfortable, sparking immediate concern among both the coaching staff and fans. The team announced that he will undergo further medical testing to determine the severity of the injury and his recovery time.

Kittle's absence would be a significant blow to San Francisco's offense, as he is a key player in Kyle Shanahan's scheme, not only as a reliable receiver for Brock Purdy, but also as a blocker in the running game.

An official report on his status and whether he will be available for the 49ers' upcoming regular-season games is expected in the coming days.
