San Francisco 49ers star tight end George Kittle will miss at least four games after being placed on the injured reserve list because of a hamstring injury, the team announced Tuesday.
Kittle injured the hamstring in the first half of the 49ers' season-opening win at Seattle on Sunday after he had caught four catches for 25 yards and a touchdown.
In his place, Jake Tonges and Luke Farrell will handle the tight end duties until at least the Week 6 game against Tampa Bay. Tonges, who grew up in the Bay Area, caught the game-winning touchdown pass on Sunday, his first career TD.
