Kittle's Achilles Recovery: Walking, Golfing, and Comeback

0:00It's April 18th, California News Today starts now. AI powered and ready. I'm Cory with the story. San Francisco 49ers tied in George Kittle gave a fresh update on his Achilles tear, the worst injury he's ever had. The 32-year-old went down in the wildcard playoff game against the Philadelphia Eagles, which cut his season short and kicked off a tough recovery grind. Rehab has turned out pretty straightforward so far, mostly standing and seated calf raises to build back strength for walking and running. He's making solid progress without major setbacks. Kittle called the 10-11 weeks on crutches the worst part, straight up miserable. But getting off them a couple weeks back changed everything, and he's feeling good about where things stand. Now he's walking easy, hitting the golf course again, and everything points up. Even the downside? His wife has him hauling boxes around the house, now that he's mobile. Things like Kittle's locked in for a strong comeback, ready to lace up with the Niners next season.
