The San Francisco 49ers likely were briefly holding their breath after tight end George Kittle appeared to injure his lower leg in the second quarter. It bent awkwardly and he limped off the field. Trainers looked at him after Budda Baker hit him near the line of scrimmage.
Kittle has gone back to the locker room to get his leg looked at more closely. 49ers media indicated Kittle did not look too disturbed.
At the time of the injury, Kittle had four receptions for 44 yards and one rush for nine yards. The 49ers other two tight ends are Jordan Reed and Ross Dwelley.
