[Rapoport] 49ers star TE George Kittle, who hasn’t practiced this week with an ankle sprain, will test out his ankle pregame to see if he can go, source said. While most players don’t play if they don’t practice all week, Kittle is intent on testing it out to see if he’s got a shot.

1. I hope he sits… I started Jacobs ass tonight and I need points from Jennings

2. No need to give the Bears a chance to prepare either way.

3. Let Tonges cook

4. don’t give me hope

5. Hes playing.

6. I have Kittle in fantasy and I’m in the championship nabbed Tonges as back up, and I’m gonna be sweating ready to change my lineup 5 mins before the game starts lol

7. Built different. He’s all time.

8. Hope he can play and be effective. Our offense is not the same without him.

9. Who will the bears be without tomorrow night?

10. Sit him. We need him for the Playoff(s)

11. If he can block he needs to be out there. No chance of the one seed if they lose this game.

    Now, if he’s hella compromised then we roll with Tonges and let him rest up for the playoff run no matter where they end up in the seedings.

12. “the unknown is still an unknown”

    You’re welcome

13. Just rest big dog!

14. Niners activated TE Brayden Willis from the practice squad so I don’t expect Kittle to play. We need juice to step up with the run blocking

15. Sounds like a no.

16. Please just rest him though. If we lose Kittle for a playoff game, we’ll have just screwed ourselves for no reason.

    Is gunning for a 1st rd bye worth jeopardizing any shot at winning a playoff game? Our defense is NOT a strength of this team. Right now we just have to be healthy enough on offense to drop 30+ in hopes of winning shootouts.

    No Kittle would make that very difficult.
