Kittle will start camp on active PUP...he might miss that first game. And then we see him weeks two or three...If he comes back and he's still getting the limited targets and he doesn't have that explosion and that run after catch because of the Achilles, you know, he could be a little bit disappointing.

Kittle likely misses week 1; Achilles recovery could limit run-after-catch upside.

Kittle will start camp on active PUP and is likely to miss the first game, returning in weeks two or three. At age and coming off a torn Achilles, the primary concern is whether he'll retain the explosion and run-after-catch ability that forms the foundation of his receiving game; if he returns with limited targets and diminished athleticism, he could disappoint despite not being drafted aggressively.
