San Francisco 49ers star tight end George Kittle will not suit up for the team's preseason opener against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.
According to Tracy Sandler of Fangirl Sports Network, Niners head coach Kyle Shanahan said Thursday that Kittle will miss a week with an adductor injury.
Kittle, 29, has struggled with injuries during his career and last played a full season back in 2018. He's been hampered by foot, knee and hamstring injuries. In 2021, he missed three games with a calf injury, and a groin issue caused him to miss the first game of the 2022 season, plus he missed a subsequent game.
