George Kittle ‘Absolutely’ Expects to Play in 49ers’ Week 18 Game Against Seahawks for NFC No. 1 Seed

The All-Pro tight end says he feels “fabulous” following a mid-to-low ankle sprain.

Overview

  • Kittle missed last week's win over the Bears but now plans to suit up Saturday at Levi's Stadium.
  • He exited the Week 16 game in Indianapolis after posting seven catches for 115 yards and a touchdown.
  • ESPN's Jeremy Fowler previously reported the injury was a mid-to-low ankle sprain rather than a high-ankle sprain.
  • The winner Saturday clinches the NFC's top seed and a first-round bye.
  • The bye would offer added recovery time for injured 49ers, including left tackle Trent Williams' hamstring.
