Given the video of the hyperextension injury in game on Sunday,  we had our concerns about Kittle. He did finish the game but was a very limited in his production and quite honestly limped around the field. After proclaiming himself fine after the game, now comes word that he did not practice today and will not practice all week. This is significant, and there is precedent for him with this injury. Last Halloween he had a similar hyperextension to the same knee, and missed two weeks. An absence of several games is possible, and the while the injury is being  reported as a knee strain, there is worry for a bone contusion. His status going into week two is not looking bright.
