"My Achilles is doing great, no setbacks in my recovery," Kittle stated. His surgeon, Dr. Neal ElAttrache, initially told Kittle he had "a chance" to make it back for Week 1, which has motivated his rehabilitation. The long trip to Melbourne for the first game adds complexity to his timeline, but Kittle views it as "just another challenge."
