Expected to miss some time
Good news for the #49ers on TE George Kittle: No tears or structural damage on his separated shoulder after tests. Not serious. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
Nerdy Football Analysis: Head coach Kyle Shanahan has already stated that the tight end will miss “some time”. Reading the tea leaves, it’s unlikely that Kittle will play the rest of the pre-season but could be available Week 1. His current ADP is TE11, going in the 10th or 11th round of most fantasy drafts. Cole Hikutini will get some extra run in camp while Kittle is out.
