49ers Activate George Kittle Off PUP List Ahead of Australia Trip

Kittle’s back, the pads are on,
PUP list days are nearly gone.
Down under soon the 49ers fly—
Tight end ready, spirits high.

The San Francisco 49ers have taken star tight end George Kittle off the physically unable to perform list, clearing him for practice and potential game action just 10 days before the team travels to Australia.

Return to Full Participation

Kittle had been limited during the early portion of training camp while recovering from an injury. His activation signals that the veteran is progressing well and could contribute sooner than expected. Teammates and coaches have described his presence as a major boost to the offense.

Timing and Team Plans

The move comes as the 49ers prepare for international games and the regular season. Removing Kittle from the PUP list allows him to participate fully in practices and gives the coaching staff more flexibility in evaluating the tight-end group.

Impact on the Roster

Kittle remains one of the league’s most productive and physical tight ends when healthy. His return strengthens San Francisco’s passing attack and run-blocking schemes at a critical point in the preseason calendar.
