San Francisco 49ers star tight end George Kittle will miss his team's Week 2 matchup with the Jets on Sunday after suffering an MCL sprain. However, the two-time Pro Bowler might be back when San Francisco faces the Giants in Week 3.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, there is a belief that Kittle will be ready to play next week, even though the injury normally sidelines most players for multiple games.
An MRI on Monday revealed the damage to Kittle's MCL, but ESPN notes that he was seen walking around the Niners' training facility this week without a limp.
