SANTA CLARA — A four-day break apparently wasn’t enough to totally cure tight end George Kittle of his knee injury from last game.
Kittle, who’s missed only one game in his 2 1/2-year career, sustained what appeared to be a hyperextended left knee when hit there by a helmet on the 49ers’ first snap of Thursday’s 28-25 win at Arizona. Coach Kyle Shanahan said after the game Kittle also battled an ankle injury before sitting out the final minutes.
