Kittle 'Absolutely' Expects to Play Saturday vs. Seahawks for No. 1 Seed
San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (ankle) "absolutely" expects to play Saturday night against the Seahawks in the season finale, with the NFC West title and No. 1 playoff seed on the line. Kittle, who missed Week 17 due to a mid-to-low ankle sprain, was limited in practice Tuesday and Wednesday, with GM John Lynch confirming he's trending in the right direction. He stated he's feeling "fabulous" this week and is confident he can shake off the injury. Kittle had 7 targets for 115 yards and a touchdown in Week 16 before his injury. Thursday's injury report will provide his final designation.
