49ers' Kittle Injured: Ankle Worries Mount

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle's participation in the Week 16 contest against the Indianapolis Colts was cut short due to an ankle injury. He was seen limping off the field during the third quarter, raising concerns for the 49ers' offense. As of the 12:41 mark remaining in the fourth quarter, Kittle's status is unclear. He has not been seen in the blue medical tent but has missed snaps, with Luke Farrell stepping in as his replacement. Prior to the injury, Kittle had a significant impact on the game. Before leaving the field, Kittle had accumulated seven receptions for 115 receiving yards and scored a touchdown. While his return is uncertain, the team is managing his absence with backup tight ends Jake Tonges also available.
