Philadelphia– san francisco 49ers tight end george kittel Skipped Sunday’s wild-card playoff game against philadelphia eagles A little more than six minutes left in the second quarter with an Achilles injury in his right side.
A cart carried Kittle to the locker room as teammates and opponents surrounded him and wished him well.
During the game, he made a 6-yard catch from the quarterback brock purdy But when Kittle attempted to cut down the field, his right foot buckled in front of the Eagles linebacker jack dwarf Dealt with that. Kittle stayed put after Bonner took him down and the Niners medical staff ran to the Philadelphia sideline to examine him.
A few minutes later, the medical cart came out for Kittle and took him to the locker room. A potential comeback was ruled out with two minutes remaining in the first half.
The television broadcast showed Kittle encouraging and clapping his teammates as he was led to the locker room. Kittle missed five of the first six games this season due to a hamstring injury and was inactive in Week 17 due to an ankle problem.
Kittle bounced back against last week Seattle Seahawks And he had no injuries before Sunday’s game.
