George Kittle Out for Season with Torn Achilles; Undergoes Surgery

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle is out for the remainder of the season after suffering a torn right Achilles tendon during last Sunday's wild-card victory. He was placed on injured reserve on January 13th, with surgery scheduled for January 14th. Kittle's rehab is estimated to take 4-6 months, with potential issues for up to a year. His absence is a significant blow to the 49ers' offense, who will rely on other receivers to pick up the slack. In 2025, Kittle played 11 games, recording 57 receptions for 628 yards and 7 touchdowns.
