George Kittle injury update: practicing this week

49ers TE George Kittle is expected to practice this week, per Adam Schefter, as he pushes to be ready for San Francisco's season opener against the Rams in Australia.

Kittle has had no setbacks in his recovery from a torn Achilles, and Schefter reports he still has a legitimate chance to play in that game.

What this means for your roster

Kittle remains on the active side of the injury conversation. A top-five tight end when healthy, he is worth holding in every format. If he practices without restriction this week, that is a strong signal he suits up for the opener. Keep an eye on practice reports as the week progresses before making any start or sit decisions in leagues that begin in Week 1.
