Sourced report
Kittle is off San Francisco's injury report with no game designation after working back from an Achilles injury. The clearance is stronger than Wednesday's limited-practice signal.
Status basis: high trust source
Fantasy impact
Kittle can be activated for Week 1. His return from an Achilles injury still makes in-game workload worth monitoring, but the final designation no longer signals an absence risk.
