Why George Kittle says Achilles’ tear is the best script
After a serious injury, San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle struggled with emotion. But got it a lot of support from his teammates. And he also said that Achilles’ tear was best case scenarioaccording to a post on X by Matt Burroughs.
“George Kittle said his Achilles tear was the best-case scenario: high toward the soleus muscle.”
“I had a clean tear. They didn’t have to drill my heel. And where the repair was, it was where there’s more blood flow. So it takes a little bit of time to recover.”
49ers TE George Kittle is optimistic about his recovery
Kitlte said Dr. Neal ElAttrache offered a positive attitudeaccording to apnevs.com.
“My recovery — when I’m going to run, when I’m going to be ready to play again — he’s very excited about that,” Kittle said. “It puts me in a really good mood. It’s not as bad as the others.”
If the mental aspect helps, Kittle could overcome the recovery timeline. He even got a helping hand from 49ers owner Jed York.
“Having his support has been absolutely fantastic,” Kittle said. “Just the fact that the team owner is coming to give you his condolences. And like he’s staying there for you. It just really means what this place is and the people that are in this building. And it really makes me happy to be a Nine.”
Kittle’s absence showed in the playoffs. The 49ers came apart at the seams in an embarrassing 41-6 loss to the Seahawks.
He was not the only one who disappeared. Other star players like linebacker Fred Warner and defensive end Nick Boss didn’t even make the postseason for the 49ers. However, San Francisco managed to have a solid season under the coaching skills of Kyle Shanahan. If only Shanahan could unlock the key that keeps his team healthy.
The magic ran out against the Seahawks, who will play the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday for the NFC championship.
