Kittle understands that he needs to practice before he plays: 'I don't want my first time in pads traveling to Australia. I don't think that'd be a very smart idea. These next couple of weeks are everything.'

Kittle needs pads practice before Week 1; won't debut in Australia.

Kittle stated he needs to practice in pads before playing and does not want his first time in pads to be traveling to Australia for the Week 1 game. He emphasized that the next couple of weeks of practice are critical to determining whether he can play Week 1 or not. If he's not on the plane to Australia, he will stay back and continue rehabbing.
