[lovelystyle]

The 2022 NFL regular season hasn't started yet, but 49ers tight end George Kittle is already banged-up.Kittle did not participate in 49ers  Jaxson Hayes Jersey practice on Wednesday as a result of a groin injury. The 28-year-old reportedly and wasn't feeling good enough to return to the field, per 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan."Was hoping hed be good today," during a news conference on Wednesday. "Did a little on Monday and not feeling good today. So well have to see; he's day-by-day."MORE: That day-by-day designation makes it unclear Kira Lewis Jr. Jersey  whether Kittle will be able to participate in the 49ers' Week 1 game against the Bears at Soldier Field. reports that a source told him Kittle's injury is "not good" and said that "it would be optimal for Kittle to rest and rehab for a week or two."As such, the 49ers could opt to play it safe with their top tight end. After all, it is Week 1, and he has mi sed 13 of the team's games over the last three seasons.Kittle  Stanley Johnson Jersey is expected to be one of Trey Lance's top targets if healthy, so losing him would be a blow to the team's pa sing offense. The 49ers would use some combination of Charlie Woerner, Ro s Dwelley and Tyler Kroft to fill in for Kittle if he can't play.Woerner  a sixth-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft  is listed as Kittle's top backup on the depth chart. That said, he has just eight career catches for 88 yards, so he may be more of a blocking  Julius Randle Jersey replacement for Kittle.MORE: As such, the 49ers may rely more on Dwelley  who has 40 career catches, 401 yards and four touchdowns  and Kroft (101 catches, 1,024 yards and 13 touchdowns) as pa Willy Hernangomez Jersey  s-catching replacements for Kittle.Either way, Kittle's status will bear watching ahead of the 49ers' season opener. He could play, but he would likely need to take a step forward at practice on Thursday or Friday for Shanahan and Co. to feel comfortable allowing him on the field.
