San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is anticipated to return to practice Monday while the team prepares for its season-opening matchup against the Los Angeles Rams scheduled for Thursday, September 10. The game will take place at AAMI Park in Melbourne, Australia. Kittle has been recovering from an Achilles injury sustained earlier this year but made the trip down under with the team.
The 49ers also bolstered their roster depth at the tight end position by signing Brayden Willis to their practice squad. This move comes as the team navigates Kittle’s recovery and ensures adequate coverage at the position heading into the regular season.
While Kittle’s participation in Monday’s practice represents a positive development, his availability for Thursday’s game remains uncertain. The tight end will need to complete the full week of practice without complications before being cleared for competition. Observers suggest monitoring his progress throughout the week before making any roster decisions related to his status.
