49ers tight end George Kittle leaves game against Seattle after suffering hamstring injury

By Canadian Press on September 7, 2025.

SEATTLE (AP) — San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle left the game against the Seattle Seahawks early Sunday and was ruled out for the remainder with a hamstring injury.

Kittle, who has earned first or second-team All-Pro honors in five of the past seven seasons, went out in the second quarter and did not return.

He had scored on a five-yard pass from Brock Purdy midway through the first quarter to give the 49ers a 7-0 lead. He finished the game with 25 yards on four catches.

Kittle came into the season following one of his most productive seasons as a receiver after catching 78 passes for 1,106 yards and eight TDs for an injury-riddled San Francisco offense in 2024.
