The 49ers received encouraging news regarding tight end George Kittle, who sustained a mid-to-low ankle sprain during Monday night’s win over the Colts. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that Kittle is not expected to miss significant time, and he himself expressed confidence that it was not a high-ankle sprain. In the Week 16 game, Kittle recorded seven receptions for 115 yards and a touchdown, bringing his season totals to 52 catches for 599 yards and seven TDs.
