George Kittle left no doubt whether he will be playing on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers.
The San Francisco 49ers star tight end told reporters on Wednesday that he’ll suit up in Wisconsin.
‘I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure,’ Kittle said.
Kittle missed the 49ers Week 11 clash against the Seahawks with a hamstring injury.
San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Kittle participated in Wednesday’s practice on a limited basis.
Kittle likely will not be fully cleared until game time. However, after his confident response to his status, it would be a shock not to see him line up against Green Bay.

Kittle is one of the integral members of the 49ers roster, with them possibly being the NFL’s most disappointing team at 5-5.
The 49ers were expected to be one of the NFC’s best teams and currently sits in last place in the NFC West, where no team has a losing record.
Yet, San Francisco is only one game out of the division lead. The 49ers only have two games left this season against teams currently with a losing record.
Kittle has 43 catches for 560 yards and seven touchdowns so far this season as one of the NFL’s most productive tight ends.
Green Bay is 7-3 and in third in the NFC North, yet, is in a playoff spot.
