Unfortunately for the San Francisco 49ers, they already have experience knowing what it's like to lose star tight end George Kittle to a serious injury.
Way back in Week 1 against the Seattle Seahawks, Kittle suffered a hamstring injury that landed him on injured reserve and cost him five games.
Now, in the wake of Kittle's horrendous Achilles tear in the Wild Card victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, the Niners will have to experience his absence yet again.
And that means San Francisco will have to turn to a less-known name who already plugged the gap in Kittle's wake: Jake Tonges.
