George Kittle

Washington and Cleveland just turned putrid seasons from 2019 into playoff journeys in 2020. Which NFL teams could follow suit in the 2021 campaign? Marc Sessler spotlights four particular franchises.

With the offseason approaching, San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle responded to the idea of the team moving on from quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.

The postseason is no longer in play, but the 49ers aren't giving up on what's left of their season. That particularly applies to their All-Pro tight end. George Kittle will play Saturday versus the Cardinals, per coach Kyle Shanahan. 

While it is unlikely that quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo will take the field for the San Francisco 49ers again this season, there remains a chance that tight end George Kittle could return to action.

49ers TE George Kittle has an optimistic timeline for his return from a broken foot a month ago. Coupled with the impending return of QB Jimmy Garoppolo, the 49ers are hoping to turn around a mired 2020 season.

The San Francisco 49ers officially placed quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and tight end George Kittle on injured reserve.
