NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports it'll likely be 3-5 weeks. His absence means more playing time for TEs Luke Farrell and Jake Tonges, but neither makes for an attractive addition in fantasy leagues right now. We'll see whether Kittle lands on IR, which would tell us more about his return timeline.
