The George Kittle kool-aid is going to be shotgunned in mass quantities here at Niners Nation for at least a little while. He may have the record, but his legend has not stopped growing.
ESPN’s Nick Wagoner reports that Kittle played the second half of the season with a cracked rib. The injury in question was suffered during the Oakland Raiders game in Week 9 and Kittle wore some large padded rib protectors for the rest of the season.
I went through the injury reports after the Raiders game to see if there was anything listed to hint at such.
