The San Francisco 49ers’ tight end George Kittle, recovering from a torn Achilles, received an encouraging update from Dr. Neal ElAttrache, boosting his chances to play in the NFL season opener against the Los Angeles Rams in Australia. Kittle is ahead of schedule in his recovery, only seven months post-surgery, despite the typical nine-month recovery period. He has expressed confidence in returning to the field, aiming to avoid missing any regular-season games in 2026. Currently on the Physically Unable to Perform List, Kittle must soon participate in training camp to be ready for the September 10 matchup.
