Georgiafootball star George Kittle suffered an ugly right Achilles injury during Sunday’s Wild Card playoff game against the Philadelphia Eagles. The All-Pro tight end was injured on the opening drive while blocking. He was carted off and is reportedly out for the playoffs. His status for the 21-22 season is also in significant jeopardy.
