"George's rehab is coming tremendous," Lynch said. "I know you guys have heard from him and he's doing really well. And that's very exciting. He's doing everything possible to be ready for Week 1. And we're thrilled with his progress."
Kittle played in just 11 games for the 49ers last season, but managed to finish second on the team with 57 receptions and seven receiving touchdowns while racking up 628 yards through the air. The star tight end went over 1,000 yards receiving in each of the previous two seasons.
