San Francisco tight end George Kittle says he won’t miss Saturday’s season finale against the Seahawks, with the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs on the line.
Asked if he expected to play Saturday, Kittle said, “Absolutely.”

Kittle missed last week’s game with an ankle injury, but said he felt “fabulous” this week.
“Great position for Saturday night to get a seed. So just with that, I’m doing fantastic,” Kittle said.
The 49ers offense played very well in beating the Bears without Kittle, and Kittle said he was proud to be part of a team that had players step up all season while other players were injured.
“Any time you’re in a position to get a seed, it means you’re playing football at a very high level,” Kittle said. “This team keeps going.”
And Kittle continues, confident that he can do what the 49ers have done all season: shake off an injury and move on.
