Kristin Juszczyk, the wife of San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk, has provided an update to fans after suffering an unexpected injury while traveling to support her husband. As the 49ers gear up for their crucial NFL wild-card playoff clash against the Philadelphia Eagles, Kristin revealed she hurt her tailbone but remains committed to being in the stands for the high-stakes game.
A Painful Journey to Philadelphia
Taking to her Instagram stories on Friday, Kristin Juszczyk explained the unfortunate incident that occurred during her trip to Philadelphia. From her airplane seat, she shared a photo that revealed her improvisation to manage the pain: using a neck roll as a cushion. With a characteristically lighthearted attitude, she wrote, “I hurt my tailbone and have to sit on this neck roll for the flight to Philly. Hopefully, everyone thinks I got a BBL.” Despite the clear discomfort, her focus was unwavering—being present for her husband's pivotal playoff game.
Playoff Excitement Amid Personal Setback
The injury has not dampened Kristin's spirit or her excitement for the playoffs. The 49ers secured their postseason berth after a competitive race in the NFC West and now face a daunting away game in Philadelphia. Kristin has been actively sharing her journey and anticipation leading up to the kickoff. In another Instagram story, she posted a photo of Liz Moore's novel, “The God of the Woods,” mentioning a New Year's reading goal, showcasing her effort to find calm during the chaotic playoff week.
Earlier in the week, Kristin also turned heads with her bold game-day fashion. She sported a custom black oversized jacket featuring Kyle Juszczyk's No. 44 in red, paired with denim capri pants, black boots, and a belt stamped with her husband's nickname, “J.U.I.C.E.”
Balancing Personal Support with a Thriving Business
Beyond the sidelines, Kristin Juszczyk is a successful entrepreneur. She co-founded the apparel brand Off Season last year alongside Emma Grede. The brand recently celebrated its first anniversary and has seen rapid growth, partnering with multiple NFL teams and expanding into NBA apparel. Her designs have gained significant popularity, worn by celebrities like Taylor Swift, Simone Biles, and Brittany Mahomes.
Kristin's story is one of resilience and dedication. As the San Francisco 49ers prepare to battle the Philadelphia Eagles in a hostile environment, she exemplifies the supportive partner, pushing through personal pain to be there for a milestone moment in her husband's career.
