CHICAGO (AP) — San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is inactive for the team’s season opener at the Chicago Bears because of a groin injury. Kittle got hurt during a light practice on Monday. He was listed as questionable on Saturday’s injury report. Kittle’s injury means second-year quarterback Trey Lance will be without one of his top targets in his third career start. The 28-year-old Kittle also is a key part of San Francisco’s running game as one of the better blocking tight ends in the league.
