The 49ers announced on Sunday that they have activated TE George Kittle from the physically unable to perform list.
Kittle was placed on the PUP list prior to the start of training camp as he continues to work back from a torn Achilles suffered in January. His activation is a good sign that he could return as early as Week 1 of the regular season.
Kittle, 32, is a former fifth-round pick of the 49ers out of Iowa back in 2017. He was entering the final year of his four-year, $2.69 million contract and was set to make a base salary of $735,000 in 2020 when he agreed to a new five-year, $75 million extension with the 49ers.
He finished the fourth year of his deal and made $13,400,000 in 2024. He was headed into a contract year in 2025 when he signed a four-year, $76.4 million extension.
In 2025, Kittle appeared in 11 games for the 49ers and caught 57 passes on 69 targets for 628 yards and seven touchdowns.
We will have more on Kittle as it becomes available.
