George Kittle (knee) ruled out for 49ers in Week 2
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has been ruled out for Week 2's game against the New York Jets with a knee injury.
What It Means:
Kittle has been downgraded from questionable to out and will miss Week 2's game against the Jets. Kittle didn't practice at all this week, and he will stay in the Bay Area this weekend to continue his rehab. He is expected to rejoin the team for practice early next week, although his participation in that practice is still up in the air. With Kittle out, look for Jordan Reed to see an increase in opportunities operating in a decimated 49ers receiving core.
The 49ers are 7.0-point favorites over the New York Jets in Week 2. Their implied team total of 24.25 points is the tenth-highest team total on Sunday's main slate, according to numberFire's DFS Heat Map.
