49ers pregame: George Kittle ‘big fan of game plan,’ Nick Bosa speaks on rivalry
SANTA CLARA — Tight end George Kittle is expected to be out for the 49ers’ home opener against the Seattle Seahawks today, according to an overnight report by ESPN.
Kittle’s official status and the 49ers’ inactive list will be revealed 90 minutes before kickoff, which is set for 1:05 p.m. The NFL Network reported Sunday morning that Kittle was originally diagnosed with a “three-week injury,” but was “pushing to play” and the 49ers would make him a game-time decision.
The 49ers are 2-8 in the past 10 games Kittle has missed. Tyler Kroft started in place of Kittle at Chicago and played 37 of 68 offensive snaps. Backups Ross Dwelley and Charlie Woerner each played 19 snaps. “One thing I learned from Bruce is: if you have fun, it makes things a lot easier out there,” Kittle said. “I just try to continue to encourage them, keep the energy high, and remind them to be very angry and violent .”“Big fan of the game plan this week and there’s a lot to build off of,” Kittle added. “It’s going to be a great one. While it will probably be wet, it won’t be monsooning like it was last week. The boys are ready to go and hit again.
