George Kittle was a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice on September 16, battling the same Achilles injury he tore all the way back in January. This isn’t just some minor knock, folks.
Dude actually suited up for the season opener, which is honestly wild when you think about it. But the harsh reality check hit hard: he was limited to just 12 receiving yards on two receptions. That’s not the Kittle we know, not even close. It’s remarkable he’s out there at all after tearing an Achilles in January, an injury that usually sidelines guys for way longer.
So, what does this mean? Don’t expect him to be his old self overnight. It’s gonna take him several weeks before he even starts to resemble the dominant force we’re used to seeing. If you’re counting on him, you better be ready to find a quality alternative because this recovery is clearly a marathon, not a sprint.
