By all accounts, it really sounds like Kittle's recovery is coming along well. And remember, Harmon, at some point in the offseason, Kittle talked about this injury and sort of explained, and I'm not going to try to do it again here. I think I did it on an episode in the offseason. But he explained that it was a type of Achilles injury where it was going to allow it to heal quicker.
