San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is dealing with a mid-to-low ankle sprain following Monday’s 48-27 win over the Indianapolis Colts, a source told ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
Kittle told reporters postgame that he believed to have sustained the injury during the second quarter after being on the receiving end of a hip-drop tackle. He attempted to play through the issue after taping up his ankle but left the game in the third quarter and didn’t return.
The Niners star recorded seven catches for 115 yards and one touchdown before exiting.
