Kittle (leg) has been ruled out for 49ers' Week 10 matchup with the Giants, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Kittle was forced to leave Sunday's loss to the Cardinals with a leg injury, but he promptly returned to action and finished with three receptions (five targets) for 27 yards. However, when Kittle was evaluated after the game, the team determined his injury was a little more serious than initially believed. The team's decision to rule Kittle out far in advance of the Week 10 game suggests he could be at risk of missing additional time, which would open up more snaps at tight end for Garrett Celek, who is likely to pick up the start against the Giants.
