A possible timeline has been set for San Francisco 49ers superstar tight end George Kittle after his devastating Achilles injury.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle suffered a torn Achilles against the Philadelphia Eagles on Jan. 11. Here's what we know so far.

The San Francisco 49ers targeted George Kittle on a six-yard pass with just over six minutes remaining in the second quarter. After Kittle was tackled, he immediately grabbed the back of his right ankle. It was a non-contact injury, which is genuinely the worst-case scenario.

George Kittle’s Achilles recovery after the 49ers’ Wild Card win could allow an early 2026 return, Dr. David J. Chao says.
