George Kittle’s wife, Claire Kittle, has been a strong source of strength and support to the star player and has often been spotted at all matches cheering him on.
The caption of the post that Claire Kittle made, reads as, “Disbelief and stillness were all I felt as I yelled, get up, get up, over and over again. He always gets up. He’s George — he can do all things. He just does it.
Claire Kittle added, “I love this man with everything I have in me. He is a unicorn in this world, and he will be back stronger and better than ever before. The mind of a heartbroken athlete is a determined one…”
When will George Kittle be able to return to the field?
At this point in time, George Kittle will not be able to come back to the field this season as medical experts say it will take him “9 to 12 months” at least to fully recover.
The San Francisco 49ers’ coach, Kyle Shanahan, spoke about George Kittle’s injury after the match as he said, “Losing Kittle early in the game, it was obviously a depressing play for everybody. Once I heard on the headset, just going over there, just felt horrible for Kittle.”
He added, “Jake [Tonges] and Luke [Farrell] had stepped it up for us all year so. So I think the guys had a lot of confidence in those guys that they could still do it. But I think everyone’s just hurting for Kittle.”
