Is George Kittle playing today? Why 49ers' TE starts slow vs. Eagles image

The San Francisco 49ers got off to a fantastic start on Sunday in Philadelphia.

Brock Purdy hit Demarcus Robinson on a long pass, and then he hit him again for a touchdown.

You couldn't have asked for a better opening drive.

The one thing it was lacking was George Kittle.

Is George Kittle playing today?

Yes, the 49ers' TE Kittle is playing Sunday against the Eagles.

He's active, healthy and on the field in his signature No. 85.

He had a few key moments of blocking on the quick opening drive.

Purdy just didn't have a reason to target Kittle when he had other options open.

Don't worry. Kittle should get involved soon enough.
