Kittle’s Return Timeline Nears Reality | NFL News

George Kittle’s comeback is heating up—just weeks after tearing his Achilles, the 49ers tight end’s been cleared to return and is already back in limited drills. Coach Kyle Shanahan’s vague “step back” comment sparked concern, but he quickly clarified it was just a misstatement—Kittle’s progress has been stellar. Known for his relentless drive to play, Kittle’s pushing hard to suit up for the season opener against the Rams in Australia. With less than eight months since his injury, his recovery timeline is nothing short of remarkable. The next few practices will be critical as the team weighs whether he can handle both the physical demands and the long trip to Melbourne. Odds are leaning toward him playing, but fans won’t know for sure until the end of the week.
