49ers’ George Kittle breaks silence on crushing Achilles injury in emotional post: ‘Heartbroken’
NY Post
Greg Kittle addressed his devastating Achilles injury for the first time in a post on Instagram on Monday.
The 49ers star popped his Achilles during the second quarter of San Francisco’s 23-18 wild-card win over the Eagles on Sunday night.
“Football sucks sometimes,” Kittle wrote in a post on Instagram accompanied by a carousel of photos. “But I love it. I love these guys and this team. Heartbroken but have felt so much love and support from everyone reaching out. I’ll be good. Thank you. We aren’t done yet! Also when your team owner is the first person to meet you in the locker room, you know you’re in a special place.”
The post included a photo of Kittle with his wife, Claire, inside the 49ers training room as well as a picture of the Niners tight end being carted off the field.
Claire shared Kittle’s post on her Instagram story and wrote, “My real life super hero.”
Kittle suffered the injury with 5:58 left in the second quarter after making a catch and being tackled near the sideline.
