From the episode

George Kittle... coming back from an Achilles injury. Like we, he seems to be doing well... I do think we'll have a better than average Achilles recovery just based on the articles I was reading about the location of the kind of Terry had apparently it's easier to repair.

STACKED’s take

NeutralInjury

Achilles recovery ahead of schedule; tear location may enable faster return.

George Kittle is recovering from an Achilles injury and appears to be ahead of schedule. The source notes the location of his Achilles tear was apparently easier to repair, suggesting a better-than-average recovery trajectory, though recovery timelines remain uncertain.
