From the episode

George Kittle, that could be one of the weeks where he's really getting his cardio in... Kittle's just going to do a little bit more of that stuff than he might in a given week as more of like an inline blocker.

STACKED’s take

NeutralUsage

Kittle shifts to fullback-like blocking role with Juszczyk out.

With Juszczyk unavailable, Kittle will take on expanded inline blocking duties and movement responsibilities, particularly in 21 personnel; the source expects Kittle to get more cardio in this week as he assumes the role Juszczyk typically fills, moving around consistently rather than serving primarily as a receiver.
