Hopefully, Kyle will actually figure out how to use him in some two TE sets this year rather than just letting him come in if Kittle gets hurt. For someone who is hailed pretty widely as having a great offensive mind, Kyle really seems to have his blinders on in certain areas. Like why use a back-up RB when you can give McCaffrey 25+ touches a game and why utilize a TE with really good hands as long as you have a bunch of journeymen, or unproven, WRs on the team.
This….SO THIS!!! I said the same exact thing regarding Tonges in the free agency thread

Don't rush Kittle back. Jake can fill in perfectly fine for Kittle. Kyle needs to figure out how to get them on the field together. That would be dynamic

Tonges is under the radar, we might not see Kittle for a few weeks. He's shined with limited opportunities, the door is wide open for him

It's like all our injuries. Don't count on it.

It's an MCL for Tonges. Kyle described it as "not good," but said they need additional information.

I don't like the word " not good " may need another TE

Same. He was starter level player. Now we'll see if Dinkins can play. My hope is we uncover Kittle 2.0 in Dinkins. Hey, I can dream, can't I!

The answer to the post is if it's torn it's season ending. Another soft tissue injury which sucks. Hopefully the next man up can be good enough.

The sad part is that it was the result of a violation of the rules - tripping. If he hadn't stuck his leg out it would never have happened.

Yes it was... what was he thinking. Those dudes are huge. If I did it they would have taken my foot off.
