49ers' First Loss Makes It Clear: Their Toughest Opponent Is Their Health

Critical fumble in Week 7 loss Kittle brought in eight of 10 targets for 88 yards and lost a fumble in the 49ers' 29-20 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

Impact Kittle lead the 49ers across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets on an afternoon in which the 49ers were down Mike Evans (Achilles) and Deebo Samuel (hamstring), and in which Christian McCaffrey missed the entire second quarter due to a quadriceps injury. All three components of the veteran tight end's receiving line were also season-best figures, but Kittle's lost fumble at the Falcons' 19-yard line with 57 seconds remaining following a 22-yard catch snuffed out any hope of a comeback for the Niners. Despite the unsavory conclusion to Sunday's game, Kittle will remain a key target for Brock Purdy in a Week 9 home matchup against the Raiders on Sunday, Nov. 8 following a Week 8 bye.

Back in end zone in Week 6 win Kittle brought in five of eight targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in the 49ers' 23-17 win over the Commanders on Monday night.

Impact Kittle was one of Brock Purdy's most effective targets on the night, finishing with the 49ers' second-highest reception, receiving yardage and target totals. The athletic tight end was also on the other end of Brock Purdy's one touchdown pass, recording an 11-yard scoring grab to cap off the opening possession of the night. Kittle has at least four receptions in five consecutive games and Monday night's receiving yardage total or higher in four of his first six contests of the season, affording him plenty of momentum heading into a Week 7 road matchup against the Falcons on Sunday.

Mike Evans Was Right About Being 49ers’ Missing Piece; Nick Sirianni In Trouble?

Five short catches in Week 5 win Kittle (illness) caught five of six targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 32-29 win over the Seahawks.

Impact Kittle had an uncharacteristic third-down drop on San Francisco's opening drive but caught his other five targets to finish second on the 49ers in receiving yards despite playing through an illness. Mike Evans easily led the team with seven catches for 113 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets in Sunday's win. Kittle will have an extra day to recover before the Commanders come to town for Monday Night Football in Week 6.

49ers' George Kittle to play through health concern against Seahawks in Week 5 The San Francisco 49ers announced a status update on tight end George Kittle ahead of Week 5’s matchup with the Seattle Seahawks.

OCTOBER 11 • THEBIGLEAD.COM

Will play through illness Sunday The 49ers announced that Kittle is dealing with an illness but will play in Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Kittle remains without an official designation for Sunday's contest, so despite being under the weather, the expectation is that he'll play without any limitations. After tearing his Achilles in a Jan. 11 wild-card round win over the Eagles, the seven-time Pro Bowler has staged a successful comeback so far during the 2026 campaign. Through four games, Kittle has produced a 16-244-4 receiving line on 22 targets.
