Christian McCaffrey: We're going to play for George Kittle the rest of the way
Our Summary
The San Francisco 49ers secured a road victory against the Philadelphia Eagles, but the win was overshadowed by an injury to tight end George Kittle. Kittle tore his Achilles after a second-quarter reception, as confirmed by head coach Kyle Shanahan, who described the incident as "depressing" for the team. Running back Christian McCaffrey emphasized Kittle's significance, calling him the "heart and soul" of the team and expressing the emotional impact of his absence. Despite the setback, McCaffrey noted Kittle's positive influence remains strong within the locker room. The 49ers, who have managed to succeed despite injuries this season, will face the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday.
