Kittle was activated from the PUP list over the weekend, just a little more than seven months after the injury occurred. While tight ends have the highest RTP following an Achilles tear, studies have also shown that most players fail to return to their prior levels of performance after the injury.

Kittle's Achilles return is fast, but prior performance recovery is uncertain.

The 49ers tight end was activated from the PUP list just over seven months after suffering an Achilles tear, defying typical recovery timelines. While tight ends have the highest return-to-play rate following Achilles injuries, studies show most players fail to return to prior performance levels. The source advises rolling the dice if Kittle slips on draft day but recommends pairing him with a reliable backup option rather than banking on him as an automatic top-tier fantasy option.
