Since returning from injury in Week 7, San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has been a touchdown machine.
While Kittle’s receiving production hasn’t been great, he has scored four touchdowns over his last four games, including a pair in the Week 11 win over the Arizona Cardinals.
However, the veteran tight end is off to a quiet start in the Week 12 game versus the Carolina Panthers. Let’s dive into the details of Kittle’s slow start.
Is George Kittle playing tonight?
Yes, Kittle is active and in the lineup, he just wasn’t targeted on the Niners’ opening offensive series. San Francisco went with a heavy dose of Christian McCaffrey and not much else.
Kittle is just too important to the offense to stay quiet for much longer. We’d anticipate him getting going soon.
