Kittle Aims for Week 1 Return Despite Australia Challenge

The 49ers tight end suffered the injury in January and expressed optimism about returning in time for the Week 1 matchup against the Rams in Melbourne. 'I was told it's not a crazy goal,' Kittle said, acknowledging the 15-hour flight and compressed timeline make the challenge difficult.

'But who doesn't like a challenge?' he added, while admitting he'd prefer to start the season at home. 'If we started the season off at home, and I didn't have to hop on a plane for 15 hours, it might be different,' Kittle said. fishroad-app.com
