Kittle expected back by week 1-2 despite Achilles tear; boosts Purdy upside.

George Kittle tore his right Achilles in the NFC Wild Card round but is expected to return way earlier than expected, with the source projecting he could play in some capacity in either the first or second week of the 2026 season. This early return would give Brock Purdy another very reliable option in the 49ers' offense.
