Kittle is trending toward playing and remains a viable Week 1 starter.

George Kittle is trending toward playing in Week 1 and is traveling with the team. While he may not be at 100%, he remains a start-worthy tight end. JJ Zachariason has been aggressive in drafting him, noting that his Achilles injury was not the 'bad kind' according to medical reports.
