During the San Francisco 49ers’ run to the Super Bowl, their All-Pro tight end picked up an injury. While he didn’t miss any official time, George Kittle recently told reporters that he went through a core muscle injury a little over midway through the 2023 regular season.
While he didn’t miss time due to the injury, Kittle underwent surgery during the offseason. Following the surgery, the 30-year-old tight end says he’s on schedule and will be available at the start of training camp.
