George Kittle is an NFL tight end for the San Francisco 49ers. Born Oct 9, 1993, he starred at Iowa and has become a standout pass catcher and blocker in the NFL.
The 49ers have trimmed to a 53-man roster ahead of their season opener in Australia against the Rams. They trade for veteran interior lineman Jarrett Patterson, add depth at guard and center, and place several players on IR or PUP as they prepare for Week 1.

The NFL has staged its first regular-season game in Australia, selling out Melbourne’s 100,000-seat MCG and signaling a long-term push into the Asia-Pacific region. The Rams host the 49ers in a high-profile clash that tests logistics, fan demand, and future scheduling.
Unbeaten teams Kansas City and Minnesota maintain 4-0 records as they win on Sunday. Raiders push Chiefs hard, with a late turnover sealing the game; Maye bounces back for New England after a rough stretch.
