George Kittle Nears Potential Week 1 Return After Achilles Injury

Following an Achilles tear in last season's playoffs, 49ers tight end George Kittle is progressing toward a potential return for the Week 1 opener against the Rams. Kittle participated in team drills on Monday and plans to continue his ramp-up Tuesday. The team is expected to make a final decision on his availability after gathering more information this week. Reports suggest Kittle is currently more likely to play in the opener than teammate Nick Bosa.
