STACKED’s take
Kittle's Achilles recovery ahead of schedule; legitimate Week 1 chance vs. Rams
49ers tight end George Kittle visited Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Wednesday in Los Angeles for an encouraging check-in on his torn Achilles recovery from January surgery. Kittle's recovery is ahead of schedule, giving him a legitimate chance to play in the regular season opener in Australia against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1. His primary concern is obtaining sufficient practice time and building football shape before the game; he does not want the Rams game to be his first time in pads. If Kittle returns to practice Saturday, he will have approximately one week of practices to build cardio before the three-week window to Week 1. Kittle expressed confidence about returning sooner rather than later and did not anticipate beginning the season on the PUP list.
