Is George Kittle playing in Week 1? Latest on San Francisco 49ers TE
George Kittle suffered a torn Achilles in January. Is he ready to go against the Rams now that it's September?
The San Francisco 49ers have faced numerous injuries throughout the season, but recent developments regarding their All-Pro tight end George Kittle are encouraging. Kittle suffered a torn Achilles tendon during a January NFC wild card-round game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Despite the setback, Kittle has been diligently working on his recovery all summer and is optimistic about being ready for the start of the season.
In a remarkable turnaround, the 32-year-old tight end did not make the team's injured reserve list and was activated for the upcoming game. According to ESPN NFL insiders Adam Schefter and Ian Rappaport, Kittle is set to play in Week 1 against the Los Angeles Rams at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne, Australia.
