The 49ers are officially placing tight end George Kittle on the injured reserve list with a hamstring injury, meaning he will miss at least the next four games, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Tuesday.
It was expected for Kittle to miss some time after San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters on Monday that the tight end would miss a "few weeks."
The 49ers' next four contests include matchups against the Saints, Cardinals, Jaguars and Rams.
