San Francisco 49ers star tight end George Kittle<\/a> is no stranger to taking defenders on in the middle of the field, but he found himself in a battle against a different kind of beast early Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Kittle, 32, took to social media to retell his tale against a ginormous spider.<\/p>\n

“At 4 a.m. this morning, as I laid in a deep slumber, I was called to action by my wife, who had discovered a spider the size of a half-dollar in the bathroom. Without hesitation, I arose to combat the intruder,” Kittle posted to X.<\/p>\n

Kittle, who has been rehabbing after tearing his right Achilles tendon<\/a> during the playoffs, used his equipment to eliminate the threat.<\/p>\n

“Claire handed me the slant board I\u2019ve been using for rehab, and I immediately knew the spider had no chance. It took but 1 attempt to strike down my opponent. I received hugs and kisses for my bravery and fell back asleep with confidence. Have a day, gentlemen,” Kittle posted with a spider emoji.<\/p>\n

Kittle can only hope his successful and courageous takedown of the massive spider is how his rehab goes. The former Iowa star sustained the injury during the 49ers\u2019 23-19 win over the Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> in the NFC Wild Card Round.<\/p>\n

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said last month that “there\u2019s a chance” Kittle could play Week 1 during an appearance on the “Rich Eisen Show.”<\/a><\/p>\n

If Kittle plays Week 1, it would be a huge boost to the 49ers\u2019 offense. The seven-time Pro Bowler has been dynamic in his nine-year career.<\/p>\n

Last season, in 11 games, Kittle caught 57 passes for 628 yards and seven touchdowns. In his career, the two-time All-Pro has caught 595 passes for 8,008 yards and 52 touchdowns.<\/p>\n
