George Kittle Ahead of Schedule in Achilles Rehab

49ers tight end George Kittle is ahead of schedule in his recovery from January surgery on a torn right Achilles. Kittle reports he is 'doing great' and has been performing single-leg hops and 20-to-30-yard jogs during OTAs. He remains optimistic about his availability for the season opener, with his progress serving as a critical indicator for the 49ers' offensive readiness heading into the 2026 campaign.
