by from on (#772G2)
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has made tremendous strides in his recovery from a torn Achilles he suffered in the 49ers' NFC wild card victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.
He has lofty goals of being available in Week 1 when San Francisco travels to Melbourne, Australia, to play the Los Angeles Rams in the first-ever regular-season game played in the country.
During the workout, Kittle was shown inhaling smelling salts before he smashed a hex bar squat of 665 pounds in a training session with Josh Cuthbert.
