NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- 49ers tight end George Kittle is showing positive signs of recovery and is expected to travel to Australia for the Week 1 game against the Rams in Melbourne.
- Kittle has practiced for the past two days and is trending toward being ready to play despite his Achilles injury from January.
- Head coach Kyle Shanahan initially preferred not to take Kittle to Australia unless he was likely to play, so his travel indicates improved prospects for his participation.
- While making the trip doesn't guarantee Kittle will be in the lineup, it is considered a strong indicator of his potential availability for the game.
