Kyle Shanahan had an injury update on star tight end George Kittle ahead of the San Francisco 49ers ' Week 7 matchup for the 2025 NFL season.

Kittle has been absent from the team's offense since the season opener. He suffered a hamstring injury that has had him on injured reserve for the last four weeks. It left a hole in the 49ers' attack even as the squad persevered with a 4-2 record.

Shanahan provided a new update on Kittle's timeline to return from the injury, per NFL insider Mike Garafolo. He is now hopeful that the veteran tight end can return to practice this week in preparation for their next contest.

“Kyle Shanahan says the team hopes TE George Kittle (hamstring) returns to practice this week,” Garofolo wrote.
