San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle is hoping to help his team to a Super Bowl win next weekend, yet he’s had some hindrances as it pertains to practice.

The tight end was not a participant this Friday due to a toe injury he has been dealing with all week and would have missed practice on Wednesday if there was an actual session. Still, he is expected to play when the big game rolls around on February 11 and is currently day-to-day.

 

San Francisco will need Kittle at his best for Super Bowl 58. He only made two receptions for 27 yards against the Detroit Lions in the NFC Championship Game last weekend and will need to do a lot better if the Niners are to beat the Kansas City Chiefs.
