Kittle’s Status Threatens 49ers’ Offense | San Francisco 49ers News

The 49ers brace for battle against the Rams with uncertainty looming over star tight end George Kittle, who’s questionable due to an Achilles injury. To bolster depth, they’ve signed veteran special teams contributor Brayden Willis to the practice squad — a seventh-round pick known for his toughness and blocking prowess. If Kittle can’t go, the load shifts to Deebo Samuel and rising rookie De’Zhaun Stribling, hinting at a potential breakout season for the young talent. This move underscores how crucial depth is in playoff contention — the 49ers are playing chess while the game is still being played.
