Diagnosis confirmed Kittle was diagnosed Wednesday with a fractured cuboid bone in his foot, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact General manager John Lynch relayed that a CT scan revealed the extent of Kittle's injury, which he suffered in Sunday's loss to Seattle. After being placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Kittle was given a recovery timeline of eight weeks, but coach Kyle Shanahan noted that the tight end believes he'll only be sidelined two weeks, per Inman. In the interim, the 49ers will roll with Ross Dwelley at tight end until Jordan Reed (knee) is activated from IR, perhaps ahead of Thursday's game versus the Packers.

Going to injured reserve The 49ers will place Kittle (foot) on injured reserve, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact While the team's medical staff has informed coach Kyle Shanahan that Kittle will be sidelined eight weeks due to a small fracture in his right foot, the tight end instead has told Shanahan that he intends to miss two weeks, per Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News. The move to IR indicates Kittle will be out at least three weeks, but it also gives the 49ers leeway in case Kittle beats the odds and recovers (at least is cleared to play) before the end of the campaign. In the meantime, Ross Dwelley will occupy the top of the TE depth chart until Jordan Reed (knee) is activated from injured reserve.

Season may be over Kittle is expected to miss eight weeks with a broken bone in his foot, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact The timeline would have Kittle returning for a Week 17 matchup against the Cardinals, and that's only if the recovery progresses as planned. With injuries ravaging the 49ers' top skill players at every position, the team may not be in playoff contention at that point, in which case Kittle likely wouldn't return to action. Kittle is expected to be placed on injured reserve soon. Ross Dwelley tops the tight end pecking order for now, but Jordan Reed (knee) could return from IR for Thursday's game versus the Packers.

Faces extended absence Kittle suffered a small fracture in his foot during Sunday's loss to the Seahawks and is expected to miss substantial time, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact While the initial diagnosis didn't reveal anything broken in Kittle's ankle, further testing revealed that the superstar tight end picked up a significant foot injury. There's no clear timeline for his return, but his absence furthers the 49ers' injury woes, as Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) is out long term as well. Kittle is a candidate for injured reserve, which would keep him out of the lineup for at least three weeks. Jordan Reed (knee) could return from IR for Thursday's game versus the Packers, and Ross Dwelley should see an uptick in usage as well.
