The 49ers don’t want to lose George Kittle to a lengthy injury in 2021. If they do, there will be some question marks about the depth chart.
A year ago, the San Francisco 49ers were somewhat insured against a lengthy injury to their All-Pro tight end, George Kittle.
This, in the wake of making now-retired veteran tight end Jordan Reed a late offseason free-agent pickup.
With Reed no longer in the league, the Niners are essentially back to a depth chart that still has a number of question marks behind their top offensive weapon heading into 2021, and the clear and obvious hope is they won’t need to dip too deep into the roster depth because Kittle will stay fully healthy, right?
