49ers HC Kyle Shanahan told reporters that TE George Kittle, who has been on IR due to a hamstring injury, is more likely to return in Week 7 vs. Atlanta than next week in Week 6 vs. Tampa Bay. A return for next Sunday is considered a “long shot.” (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take:Kittle injured his hamstring in Week 1 and has missed every game since. In his absence, Jake Tonges has been working as the receiving tight end for the 49ers and has has scored in back-to-back games. Kittle should move right into the top tier at the position once he returns. The 49ers have a bye in Week 14.
