Positive recovery trend with no long-term concerns

George Kittle is trending positively in his recovery, with no indication of a long-term absence. His surgery did not require bone drilling, reducing concerns about lost explosiveness, and he is expected to be 8 months post-op by Week 1. Jeremiah Love also cites Kittle's media session regarding the importance of building symmetry and maintaining less than a 10% deficit side-to-side to avoid reinjury as a benchmark for players returning from injury.
