George Kittle "has a Chance" to Play in Week 17 Despite Missed Practice

Wednesday, December 24, 4:31 PM

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (ankle) "has a chance" to play on Sunday night against the Chicago Bears in Week 17, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Kittle is not taking part in Wednesday's practice, but the team will see how he does in the next few days. The 32-year-old Pro Bowl tight end suffered an ankle sprain in the second half of Monday night's blowout win over the Indianapolis Colts and didn't return. He might not need to practice at all this week to play, but it could be a tough decision for fantasy managers to make on Kittle if he's a true game-time decision with this weekend's contest coming on Sunday night. Kittle is a no-doubt, must-start TE1 in fantasy when he's healthy. If the Niners play it safe and keep him out against the Bears, Jake Tonges would enter the TE2 streaming picture in deeper leagues.
