George Kittle ready to return to the field with the 49ers
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has expressed his intention to play this Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. Kittle, who was injured in the first game of the season, has been working to recover from a hamstring injury. His return to the field has generated excitement among his teammates.Kittle suffered a “complete tear” of the hamstring in the opening game against the Seattle Seahawks. Fortunately, the injury did not completely tear from the bone, which shortened his recovery time. Kittle has been eager to return to the field after missing the last five games. The player has been participating in training in a limited capacity, but feels “really good.” His return could inject energy into the team, according to quarterback Mac Jones. The 49ers will need to make a decision on the lineup if Kittle is activated for the game. In addition to Kittle’s possible return, the question is who will throw the ball. Brock Purdy is still recovering from a toe injury, while Mac Jones is on track to be the starter. Other players are also showing a positive evolution in their injuries.“I fully intend to play on Sunday. As long as coach Kyle [Shanahan] lets me. It’s up to him. But I expect to be out there. Which I think I will be.”
