49ers TE George Kittle ruled out vs. Jets with sprained knee

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the New York Jets.

Kittle suffered a sprained left knee during Sunday's loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Kittle came up hobbling near the end of the first half after taking a hit from Cardinals safety Budda Baker. He was able to walk to the sideline, where he was evaluated by medical staff before heading to the locker room early.

But Kittle returned after halftime and seemed to make it through the game OK, though he had no catches and was not targeted in the final two quarters after posting four catches for 44 yards on five targets in the first half.

Kittle is going to stay in the Bay Area to rehab this weekend, according to coach Kyle Shanahan. He will then meet the team at The Greenbrier in West Virginia next week.
