49ers tight end George Kittle is dealing with a "mid-to-low ankle sprain," per source. Kittle said after the game he believed he avoided a high ankle and that is the case.

I'd rather he play because everything is on the line. Too bad we can't ensure we win both of these games as we could give Kittle three full weeks of rest if we could.

Brock Purdy has a 144.6 passer rating when targeting George Kittle this season, the highest between any QB-receiver duo in the last 5 seasons, per @NextGenStats (minimum 50 targets).

Go back to the Falcons playbook. Use him as a 6th lineman to block for CMC and a decoy downfield.

Colts player should be fined for that tackle. I thought the refs were supposed to be flagging those hip drop tackles.

#Colts S Cam Bynum did indeed hip drop tackle #49ers TE George Kittle leading to his ankle injury.

This is now back to back weeks a hip drop tackle has injured a Niners player (Ricky Pearsall ankle last week). #FTTB pic.twitter.com/4iRBYu86Lo

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that George Kittle (ankle) is dealing with a "mid-to-low ankle sprain."
Kittle's Week 17 status could be in jeopardy with the 49ers having already clinched a playoff berth, but we'll keep the light on for the practice report since the 49ers are (miraculously) alive for the No. 1 seed in a must-win game against the Bears. Some are calling it the middest ankle sprain they've ever seen, the rare "Jeff Fisher 7-9" ankle sprain. We'll check back in on Kittle on Wednesday, but fantasy managers should probably start preparing backup plans.

If it's bothering him at all then go with Tonges. He's shown an ability to get open and make goood catches.
