The San Francisco 49ers confirmed tight end George Kittle would not be activated from Injured Reserve for their Week 15 game vs. the Dallas Cowboys.
The move does not come as a surprise.
While the team had opened his practice window earlier this week, Kittle has only been expected to be available for the 49ers last couple of games. After this week, he will still have up two more weeks to practice with the team and remain on IR.
Kittle fractured his foot in the 49ers Week 7 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, but the team has remained hopeful that he could eventually make a return to the field. In 6 games this season, Kittle has hauled in 37 receptions for 474 yards and 2 touchdowns.
