Limited in practice again Kittle (calf) remained limited Friday at practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Barring an unexpected last-minute setback, Kittle figures to start and handle a three-down role Monday night against the Rams. He put up a 6-101-1 receiving line while playing 73 percent of snaps in a Week 9 loss to the Cardinals, immediately making an impact after returning from IR.

Limited participant to begin week Kittle (calf) will be a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact After missing three games plus a bye week with a calf injury, Kittle made a successful return to action last weekend against the Cardinals. In addition to handling something just short of a normal workload (41 snaps, 73 percent), Kittle paced the 49ers in receiving yards (101), tied for the team lead in receptions (six) and tied for second in targets (eight) in the 31-17 loss. Head coach Kyle Shanahan didn't suggest that Kittle experienced any setbacks in his return, so Kittle's limitations to begin Week 10 prep are likely just maintenance-related. Assuming Kittle remains unscathed as the week rolls along, he should see a slight uptick in his snap share during the 49ers' meeting with the Rams on Monday night.

Makes big impact in return Kittle caught six of eight targets for 101 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Cardinals.

Impact The tight end looked completely healthy in his first game action since Week 4, and Kittle celebrated his return from a calf injury by leading the 49ers in receiving yards and scoring his first TD of 2021 on a six-yard toss from Jimmy Garoppolo just before halftime. Kittle will attempt to continue to make up for lost time in a Week 10 clash with the Rams.

Impact Though Kittle should slot back in ahead of Charlie Woerner and Ross Dwelley atop the 49ers' depth chart at tight end, his expected playing-time restrictions could suppress his Week 9 fantasy value. Through his first four outings before landing on IR, Kittle recorded 19 receptions for 227 yards and no touchdowns on 28 targets.

49ers TE George Kittle (calf) activated off injured reserve ahead of Week 9 clash against Cardinals The 49ers announced a slew of moves ahead of Sunday's rematch with the Cardinals. Chief among them was the return of a certain star TE.

NOVEMBER 6, 2021 • NFL.COM

Set to make Week 9 return Kittle (calf) was activated off injured reserve Saturday and will play Sunday against the Cardinals, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.

Impact It'll be interesting to see what kind of workload Kittle receives after returning from a four-week absence due a calf injury. The star tight end had been a prominent factor in the team's lackluster passing game, tallying 19 receptions for 227 yards on 28 targets, but he never even saw a red-zone target during that span. The emergence of Deebo Samuel over the aforementioned four-week stretch could benefit Kittle down the road, but the star receiver is currently listed as questionable with a calf injury that he admitted has gotten worse over recent weeks.
