Kittle tracking ahead of typical Achilles recovery timeline; Week 1 status still uncertain
Kittle is recovering from a ruptured Achilles injury suffered in the NFC Wild Card game last season and has been working to return for Week 1 against the Rams. While the typical recovery timeframe is 9-12 months, Kittle was expected to return by eight months. He has been actively working out at the 49ers facility during OTAs and training camp, and has posted videos of his recovery work from his home in Tennessee, demonstrating a rapid pace of rehabilitation. Brock Purdy praised his effort, saying 'He did everything he could to get back for Week 1. That's a credit to him. That's actually remarkable to be able to have that kind of injury and do what he did to get back.' As of the article's writing, his Week 1 status against the Rams remains uncertain but the stars are aligning toward a return.
