Our Summary

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is out for the remainder of the postseason and is expected to miss most, if not all, of the next NFL season due to a torn right Achilles. The injury occurred during a 6-yard catch in the second quarter of the 49ers' victory over the Philadelphia Eagles when Kittle's leg gave out as he was tackled by Eagles linebacker Zack Baun. Following the incident, Kittle expressed gratitude for the support from teammates, fans, and team owner Jed York, who visited him in the locker room and sent a bottle of tequila at Kittle's request. Kittle shared his feelings and appreciation on Instagram, emphasizing his love for the team and the game despite the setback.
