Kittle Pushing for Week 1 Return

George Kittle continues his recovery from an Achilles tear suffered in January, expressing confidence he'll be ready for the season opener. "My Achilles is doing great, no setbacks in my recovery," Kittle said, adding that he's "ahead of schedule" in his rehabilitation.

The tight end tore his right Achilles during a playoff game against the Eagles on January 11, giving him only eight months for surgery and rehab. Dr. Neal ElAttrache performed the surgery and initially told Kittle he had "a chance" to make it back for Week 1, which has motivated him throughout recovery. umafrika.club
