George Kittle (foot) active for 49ers off IR
The San Francisco 49ers designated tight end George Kittle (foot) to return from injured reserve.
What It Means:
Kittle now has 21 days to return to practice. He's been out since Week 8. Kittle's return will help fill the void left by Deebo Samuel (hamstring) and could potentially cut into Brandon Aiyuk's target share. It's currently unclear whether Kittle will play in Sunday's Week 15 contest against the Dallas Cowboys.
Kittle averaged 9.0 targets over his first five games before injuring his foot in Week 8. The Cowboys rank 15th in FanDuel points allowed per game to the tight end position.
