Kittle Returns from Ankle Sprain, Records 5 Catches in 49ers Loss

49ers TE George Kittle (ankle) was active for Saturday's game against the Seahawks after missing Week 17. Despite not being 100%, he played, recording 5 receptions on 7 targets for 29 yards in the 13-3 loss. His limited production was attributed to the team's offensive struggles, though he tied for the team lead in targets. Kittle had 48 catches for 574 yards and 6 TDs in eight games before his absence.
