San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle's name has popped up on the injury report with an ankle injury, but fullback Kyle Juszczyk doesn't think there is anything to worry about. Juszczyk said that Kittle is a guy who likes the theatrics and keep people like the media on edge.

“You mentioned the whole WWE superstar, so, he likes his theatrics, he likes to get the media going. Keep people on edge,” Juszczyk said on Good Morning Football. “I don't think we have to worry about George not being out there. I really don't think there is anything that could keep him from playing.”

Kittle missed 49ers practice on Wednesday, but it sounds like it was more precautionary that he wasn't participating, rather than it being a real concern.

Kittle is a key part of the 49ers offense, and it's good news he should be good to go Sunday. During the regular season, he caught 85 passes for 1,053 yards and five touchdowns.

“George has been phenomenal, the guy's just an absolute superstar,” Juszczyk said. “Arguably, the best player in the NFL when the ball is in his hands. But a guy that also embraces doing the little things. Love being physical. Loves blocking. And just his energy, man, his energy gets all of us going…He's the best, he gets all of us fired up, and he makes us a better team.”

Kittle dominated the first time the Packers and 49ers played this season, and he could be in line for another big game.
