Kittle has had two positive days of practice and is 'trending in the right direction to play'. That would obviously be a massive boost to the 49er offense with everything Kittle brings as both a pass-catcher and as a blocker in the run game.

Kittle trending right direction for Week 1 return after Achilles tear.

Kittle is trending in the right direction to play in Week 1 after tearing his Achilles in the wild-card playoff win over Philadelphia nearly exactly 12 months prior. He has had two positive days of practice and will make the 15-hour journey to Melbourne, Australia with signs pointing to him playing at the MCG. His return would be a massive boost to the 49ers offense given his dual value as both a pass-catcher and run-game blocker, with the drop-off in blocking production when he is unavailable being long apparent.
