George Kittle ruled out for Divisional Round with torn Achilles, season over

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle has been ruled out for the Divisional Round game against the Seahawks, with his season ending abruptly due to a torn Achilles suffered in the NFC Wild Card Round. Despite his absence, veteran tackle Trent Williams noted that Kittle's spirit and energy continue to influence the team, and his positive mindset in the locker room helped steady his teammates. The 49ers will now rely more heavily on other offensive players like Ricky Pearsall and Jake Tonges, who is set to step into a larger role.
