TE George Kittle (groin) not expected to play vs. Bears

ESPN reported that San Francisco 49ers star tight end George Kittle is not expected to play Sunday against the Chicago Bears due to a groin injury, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Kittle injured the groin in a light practice on Monday and has not been able to get back on the field for the first two major practices ahead of Sunday's opener at Soldier Field.

The Niners were cautious with Kittle during training camp after he missed three games last season with a calf injury. He got an extra day off here and there in an effort to keep him healthy going into the season.

I think this is great news for the Bears. Trying to stop Kittle would have been such a hard task for the young Bears secondary. I also think that this will be even more pressure on young QB Trey Lance.
