49ers Activate George Kittle, Raising Hopes for Week 1 Appearance Against Rams

The San Francisco 49ers activated tight end George Kittle from the physically unable to perform list, marking a major step in his recovery from a torn right Achilles tendon The New York Times. The move increases the chances that Kittle will play in the 49ers' Week 1 game against the Los Angeles Rams on September 10, though there is no guarantee he will suit up TSN.
Kittle was in uniform when the 49ers began practice after being activated from the list The New York Times. The tight end said last week that he was close to returning to practice. This activation suggests the 49ers expect him to join the team on the plane for the opener about 10 days away ABC7 News.
Kittle is one of the NFL's best tight ends. Last season, he caught 57 passes in just 11 games for San Francisco ABC30. He has been named to the Pro Bowl seven times, making his availability crucial to the 49ers' offense SF Chronicle.
Activating a player from the PUP list does not guarantee he will play in the next game. The 49ers are taking a cautious approach with their star tight end TSN. The team will likely monitor Kittle's progress during this week's practices before making a final decision on his Week 1 availability The New York Times.
