What It Means:

“I mean there’s issues,” Shanahan said. “He’s got things in his knee and ankle so we’ll see.” Kittle suffered the injuries in last Thursday's win over the Arizona Cardinals. If he's unable to play, it would likely create more work for Emmanuel Sanders and Deebo Samuel. Ross Dwelley and Levine Toilolo are next up on the depth chart at tight end. Owners should have a backup plan in place since the game isn't until Monday night.

Kittle has 46 catches for 541 yards (11.8 per catch) and 2 touchdowns on 57 targets through eight games. The Seahawks are giving up the sixth-most FanDuel points per game to tight ends (12.1).
