It is unclear when the injury happened exactly. Kittle’s status will be worth monitoring at practice throughout the week. He would be in for a big role if he is healthy with Brandon Aiyuk out for the season and Deebo Samuel hospitalized due to pneumonia.

This explains why Samuel was on the sideline on Sunday. He is without a timetable to return. With Jauan Jennings also still banged up, Ricky Pearsall and Jacob Cowing should step into bigger roles.
