George Kittle injury update: NFL insider provides clarity on 49ers TE's Week 17 status

The San Francisco 49ers have listed tight end George Kittle as questionable for the Week 17 game against the Chicago Bears.

Kittle is battling an ankle injury that forced him out of last week's contest and kept him out of practice all week in the lead up to the Sunday night game against the Bears.

While Kittle is reportedly considered a game-time decision, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the 49ers tight end is "highly unlikely" to play on Sunday night.

"49ers TE George Kittle, listed as questionable for Sunday night due to a sprained ankle that prevented him from practicing last week, is “highly unlikely” to play vs. the Bears, per source," Schefter reported.
