The San Francisco 49ers and fantasy players are paying close attention to George Kittle after the team ruled the star tight end out for Sunday's road game with the New York Jets because of a sprained knee, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
It's unclear how much time Kittle will miss. He suffered the injury during the 49ers' Week 1 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
On the bright side, there was at least some optimism that Kittle could return this week, with head coach Kyle Shanahan telling reporters at the time Wednesday that the tight end "fully expects" to return for the Jets game.
