49ers not having George Kittle in Week 10 vs. Seahawks may help long term

Before I even begin, it’s critical to note I’m not arguing the San Francisco 49ers would be better off without tight end George Kittle in their Week 10 Monday Night Football bout against the visiting Seattle Seahawks. That’s illogical and incorrect. Kittle has been the most consistent option for these Niners and one of the primary reasons they are undefeated heading into this divisional affair.

That said, multiple reports have stated Kittle will likely not play this Monday after he has been ruled doubtful, and coach Kyle Shanahan said, “If it was any other player, I would probably say he’s out” (h/t Niners Wire).
