49ers TE George Kittle carted off vs. Eagles with Achilles injury

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle was carted off the field with an Achilles injury and will not return to Sunday's NFC wild-card game in Philadelphia, the team announced.

Kittle caught a 6-yard pass with 5:58 left in the second quarter and his right leg appeared to buckle as he was being tackled by Marcus Epps.

The cart came out and took the seven-time Pro Bowler to the locker room with the 49ers trailing the Eagles, 13-7. San Francisco ruled him out for the remainder of the game not long after.
