The San Francisco 49ers will be without quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and All-Pro tight end George Kittle for an extended period of time after they got hurt against Seattle.
A person familiar with the injuries said on condition of anonymity Monday that Garoppolo's ankle injury and Kittle's foot injury will sideline them indefinitely.
ESPN first reported the severity of the injuries, saying Garoppolo will miss at least six weeks because of a high ankle sprain and Kittle will be out eight weeks because of a broken bone in his foot.
Nick Mullens will replace Garoppolo as starter beginning Thursday night against Green Bay. Mullens played well in one start this season before getting pulled in the fourth quarter of a 25-20 loss to Philadelphia on Oct. 4. Mullens threw for 238 yards and two TDs in the fourth quarter against the Seahawks on Sunday.

Packers rookie running back A.J. Dillon tested positive and will be put on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.
The Packers also said that all team meetings Monday would be held virtually as they face a short turnaround before their matchup with the injury-riddled 49ers.
