Niners Nation on George Kittle

Kittle cleared for practice with legitimate Week 1 chance despite Achilles recovery.

George Kittle has not suffered a setback in his recovery from a torn Achilles and is set to return to practice this week; ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Kittle still has 'a legitimate chance' of playing in Week 1 against the Los Angeles Rams in Melbourne, though the source notes it would not be advisable for him to rush his return given the 15-hour flight involved, and the smart play would likely be to bring him along slowly for a Week 2 debut against Miami instead.
