Kittle activated from PUP; ahead of schedule in Achilles recovery, targeting Week 1.
The 49ers activated Kittle from the PUP list on Aug. 23 after he was reported to be "ahead of schedule" in his rehabilitation from a torn right Achilles tendon suffered in the wild-card playoff win over Philadelphia. Coach Kyle Shanahan stated he expected Kittle back "sooner than later," noting positive recent updates about his recovery. Kittle's activation signals the 49ers believe he will be ready to play within the first four weeks of the 2026 season, though he will need to ramp up football activity for a Week 1 return, which remains his stated goal.
