Here is a look at the best tight end performances from National Tight Ends Day, including George Kittle, Dallas Goedert and Tucker Kraft.

San Francisco 49ers star tight end George Kittle admitted that he failed to live up to his own expectations in his return from a hamstring injury in Sunday night's 20-10 win over the Atlanta Falcons.

Since its accidental inception in 2018, the fourth weekend of October has become a day of celebration. It began in Week 2 of that year when former San Francisco 49ers tight end Garrett Celek caught an 11-yard touchdown pass from former 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo against the Detroit Lions, dragging two defenders with him into the end zone.

The San Francisco 49ers have dealt with a barrage of injuries in the first half of the season, but they are finally getting one of their best players back at full health. Star tight end George Kittle has been activated off of injured reserved ahead of the team's Week 7 game against the Atlanta Falcons.

The number of injuries the 49ers have had to deal with so far this season is almost mind-boggling. On offense, quarterback Brock Purdy has only played in two games, while several of the team’s key playmakers, such as Kittle, Brandon Aiyuk, Jauan Jennings, and Ricky Pearsall, have all missed time with their own injuries.

George Kittle still believes the San Francisco 49ers have the "right guys" with the NFL trade deadline looming after the loss to the Houston Texans.
