George Kittle missed practices last week and wasn’t able to suit up for the 49ers’ thrilling 42–38 win over the Bears on Sunday night because of a sprained ankle he sustained the week prior.
This injury was casting doubt on the tight end’s availability heading into the season finale this weekend and for San Francisco’s subsequent playoff run. But, on Tuesday, Kittle made an important step for a possible return to the field this weekend. Coach Kyle Shanahan said the tight end would be limited in practice on Tuesday, marking his first practice since the injury.
