The San Francisco 49ers welcomed back tight end George Kittle for the Week 7 game against the Atlanta Falcons.

Is George Kittle playing tonight?
UPDATE: Kittle has his first target of the night.
It came on the second offensive series of the game for the Niners, but the pass from quarterback Mac Jones fell incomplete.
END OF UPDATE
Yes, Kittle is active and in the lineup, he just hasn't been targeted through a quarter-plus. Part of the problem is that the Niners have only had one possession as of this writing and it only went for nine plays and 42 yards.
Let's hope Kittle gets going soon.
