49ers' George Kittle with sprained foot injury before Cowboys game | News, results, highlights, statistics and rumors

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, expect San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle to be dealing with a sprained ankle on a daily basis.

It's the latest injury in a difficult season for the Niners on that front. This week alone, Brandon Aiyuk was the star lost for the season with a torn ACL and ACL in his right knee, while Deebo Samuel was hospitalized with pneumonia and fluid in his lungs.

Meanwhile, star running back Christian McCaffrey remains out with Achilles tendonitis and likely won't return until after the team's bye in Week 9.

“It sucks,” center Jake Brendel said told reporters Sunday regarding Aiyuk's injury. “Any injury like that to any of your weapons on offense or defense just sucks. I have the feeling as a squad that we simply have to react. Whoever is next on the roster needs to step up and make sure there is no setback and productivity on offense.

The team's numerous injuries have contributed to a 3-4 start to the season, a major disappointment for one of the preseason title favorites after San Francisco reached the Super Bowl a year ago, where it fell to Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs failed for the second time in five seasons.
