George Kittle Set for Expanded Role as 49ers Prepare to Face Broncos

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is expected to see an expanded offensive role in Week 4 against the Denver Broncos with receiver Mike Evans questionable due to a rib injury. Kittle, who made a remarkably fast return eight months after a ruptured Achilles and has already logged two touchdowns this season, earned praise from former teammate Talanoa Hufanga for his work ethic, while Kittle noted Hufanga's instinctual play style heading into their upcoming matchup.
