The San Francisco 49ers have revealed the official diagnosis for tight end George Kittle , who suffered an injury during the playoff game against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Shortly after Kittle was carted off the field, the 49ers announced that the 32-year-old has been ruled out of the game due to an Achilles injury.
The injury happened with a little more than six minutes remaining, when George Kittle caught a six-yard pass from quarterback Brock Purdy . Before he was tackled by Eagles linebacker Zach Baun , Kittle’s right leg appeared to give way.
The 49ers’ medical staff attended to Kittle before he was carted off. He was seen clapping for his teammates as he was taken into the locker room.
