George Kittle Injury

Shanahan said that it's "not guaranteed" Kittle plays on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks. The tight end's calf bothering him in walkthroughs is a huge worry regarding how he would hold up in an actual game.

Losing Kittle for this divisional showdown would be a huge blow to a Niners offense that's already hurting. The fifth-year pro is coming off of his strongest performance of the season in Week 3, racking up 7 caches for 92 yards.

It's possible Kittle may not have a clear status until gameday, which does nothing to quell the fears of fans for now.

San Francisco heads into its clash against Seattle as 3-point favorites, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
