Where is George Kittle today?

Kittle is recovering from a calf injury he suffered earlier on in the season.

The 28-year-old has had the injury since before the 49er’s Week 4 match against the Seahawks.

Ahead of the team’s clash with the Cardinals on October 10, Kittle was ruled out of playing.

Kittle had been held out of practice ahead of the match as head coach Kyle Shanahan indicated his injury had worsened.

“It just got a lot worse,” he said, according to NBC Sports Bay Area.

“There wasn’t an exact diagnosis on it so we were expecting it to heal with some of the results the guys had told us.

“It got so much worse that we started to look at it a different way. That’s why we had to shut him down.”

When will George Kittle return for the San Francisco 49ers?

Having been placed on the IR designation, Kittle will be out for several weeks.

It is unclear when he will return to the field.

The best case scenario will see him play for the 49ers against the Cardinals on November 9, or against the Rams for the Week 10 game on November 15.

Kittle has played for the 49ers since 2017.
