Nothing broken in foot Coach Kyle Shanahan said after Sunday's loss to Seattle that initial X-rays have determined that there are no broken bones in Kittle's foot, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area rep...
Impact Even given this news, Kittle faces an uphill battle to suit up in just four days Thursday against the Packers. He's scheduled to go for an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of his foot injury. On the bright side for San Francisco, Shanahan said that he's hoping backup tight end Jordan Reed (knee) will make his return Thursday. Reed's much more capable of filling the receiving void created by Kittle's potential absence than Ross Dwelley or Charlie Woerner.

Actually dealing with foot injury The injury Kittle picked up Sunday against the Seahawks has been clarified as a foot injury rather than an ankle injury, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports reports.
Impact The severity of Kittle's injury is still unknown at this time, though he remains questionable to return. The 49ers' chances of coming back from down double digits in the fourth quarter are even slimmer with neither Kittle nor starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) on the field.

Exits with ankle injury Kittle (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Impact Kittle limped off the field and into the locker room under his own power early in the fourth quarter. The 49ers host the Packers at home Thursday, and both Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) and Tevin Coleman (knee) have also been forced out with injuries, so it's conceivable that the team could be motivated to err on the side of caution regarding the star tight end's health. Kittle had two catches for 39 yards on four targets before leaving Sunday's game.

Makes five catches vs. Patriots Kittle caught five of seven targets for 55 yards during Sunday's 33-6 win over the Patriots.
Impact Despite the lopsided scoreline, Kittle didn't play a huge role in building his team's lead as he was mostly limited to short gains. He tied for the team lead in targets but finished third in receiving yards as the ground game took center stage for the majority of the second half. Kittle remains a central figure in the 49ers offense and could be leaned on much more heavily in next Sunday's matchup with the Seahawks.

100-plus yards and TD in win Kittle had seven receptions (10 targets) for 109 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-16 win over the Rams.
Impact Kittle bounced back after a team-wide disappointment last week, reaching the century mark in receiving yards while also scoring a touchdown for the second time over his last three contests. If his dominance as a receiver wasn't enough, the star tight end's performance is even more impressive when you consider he is kept back to help with both the run and pass protection for nearly half of his snaps. Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) looked healthy for the first time since going down to injury back in Week 2, which bodes well for Kittle's fantasy potential heading into Sunday's matchup against the Patriots and beyond.
