Summary

The San Francisco 49ers finally got some good injury news this week as George Kittle looks to be on track to return for week seven's matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. This would be a massive boost for the San Francisco 49ers, not only in the pass game, but it should also provide a lift for the much-maligned rushing attack, too. Christian McCaffrey has yet to log a game this season with more than 4.0 yards per rush attempt, and the outside rushing lanes have been essentially nonexistent without George Kittle. Hopefully, his return can change that.
