San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle says he is making progress in his recovery from an Achilles tear and is reaching “top speeds” during rehabilitation. Both outlets report that Kittle is working toward being healthy enough to travel with the team for the club’s season opener in Melbourne, Australia, scheduled for about eight months after the injury.
In his comments, Kittle frames the recovery as a careful balance between improving performance and avoiding setbacks. The New York Post and Yahoo Sports both include his emphasis on making smart decisions during rehab, including the need to keep pushing while not taking unnecessary risks. The reports focus on his training status and the timeframe toward the season-opening trip rather than introducing new medical milestones. Overall, the coverage aligns on the injury timeline, the ongoing recovery work, and Kittle’s belief that he could be available for the Melbourne game.
