A hamstring injury kept him in street clothes. And\u00a0his absence showed, said head coach Kyle Shanahan, according to 49erswebzone.com.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhenever you&#8217;re missing good players, it&#8217;s always a big deal,\u201d Shanahan said. \u201cWe went a little extra. We played (OL) Jaylon Moore a little bit at tight end today. Something different to help with that. I thought (TE) Eric (Saubert) stepped it up and did good, especially showing up this morning sick and things like that. But yeah, George is a great player, so it always helps when he&#8217;s out there.\u201d<\/p>\n<article class=\"article-body prose max-w-none pb-7 pt-5 prose-figure:max-w-full prose-ol:pl-10 prose-img:max-w-full prose-video:max-w-full md:prose-ol:pl-6 [&amp;_iframe]:m-auto [&amp;_iframe]:block [&amp;_iframe]:max-w-full\">Kittle\u2019s 560 receiving yards have been a key part to the team\u2019s offense. He also has seven touchdown receptions. And\u00a0Brock Purdy\u2019s performance showed as he threw for 159 yards. Purdy said he missed Kittle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you&#8217;ve got an explosive tight end like George, who can block, run, catch the ball, do everything, a defense has to account for him,\u201d Purdy said. \u201cAnd so, I mean, we love our tight ends here, but George is definitely extraordinary (with) what he brings to the table. Obviously, we&#8217;d love to get him healthy and get him back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kittle came to the 49ers via the 2017 NFL Draft as a fifth-round pick. He overperformed that pick, beginning in 2018 when he caught 88 passes for 1,377 yards and five scores. Unfortunately for Kittle, those numbers still stand as career highs. Injuries have played a role through his career, but he managed 14, 15, and 16 starts over the last three years, respectively. This year Kittle has made eight starts.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Will the 49ers be able to stay afloat through injuries?
