George Kittle Takes a Backseat as 49ers Go Run-Heavy

Sunday, November 8, 6:04 PM

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle caught four of his seven targets for 58 yards during Sunday's Week 9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. This isn't a bad stat line by any means, but it was somewhat modest when you consider that the 49ers dropped 38 points and 414 total yards of offense. San Francisco demonstrated a clear commitment to running the ball; head coach Kyle Shanahan said that he wanted to run the ball 40 times on Sunday, and indeed, the team finished with 43 rush attempts. We expect Kittle to return to his mid-to-high TE1 form next week, especially with the 49ers dealing with plenty of injuries at the wide receiver position. The physical pass-catcher has the opportunity to continue operating as Brock Purdy's favorite target if Mike Evans (Achilles) and Deebo Samuel Sr. (hamstring) are forced to miss more time.

Titans Sign Kylen Granson to One-Year Deal

Thursday, March 12, 3:43 PM

The Tennessee Titans signed free-agent tight end Kylen Granson to an undisclosed one-year deal on Thursday, a source told Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. Granson will return to the AFC South division after spending the first four years of his career with the Indianapolis Colts. The 27-year-old former fourth-rounder in 2021 out of SMU caught a career-low seven passes for 40 yards on nine targets in 17 regular-season games a year ago with the Philadelphia Eagles. Granson had 86 catches on 136 targets for 958 yards and only one touchdown in his four years in Indy as a depth TE. In Tennessee, he figures to be no better than the TE3 with the Titans to open the 2026 season while working behind second-year man Gunnar Helm and new addition Daniel Bellinger. Most of Granson's playing time in Nashville is likely to come on special teams.
