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, Tommy Call III of USA Niners Wire reports.  This via Via Matt Barrows of The Athletic on Twitter.

Kittle is coming off a 1,020-yard campaign with the 49ers. Kittle racked up 65 receptions and six touchdowns during the 2023 season. Kittle earned First Team AP All-Pro honors along with his fifth appearance in the Pro Bowl.
