The San Francisco 49ers provided an update on All-Pro tight end George Kittle's status ahead of today's Week 5 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field.
"San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle has an illness but is expected to play in today's game against the Seattle Seahawks," the team said in a statement to the media.
The 49ers enter the matchup with a 4-0 record, leading the NFC West. The Seahawks are 3-1 and won two of their three meetings with San Francisco last season, including a victory in the Divisional Round of the playoffs at Lumen Field.
Kittle has recorded 16 receptions for 244 yards and four touchdowns through the first four games of the 2026 season. He remains one of quarterback Brock Purdy's most reliable offensive weapons, making his status an important development for San Francisco ahead of the divisional showdown.
Although Kittle is dealing with an illness, his expected availability is a positive development for the 49ers as they look to extend their unbeaten start to the season.
