George Kittle celebrates DeForest Buckner's return to 49ers

George Kittle expressed his excitement over the San Francisco 49ers acquiring DeForest Buckner from the Indianapolis Colts. The deal involves a fourth-round pick in 2027 and reunites Buckner with Kittle, who played alongside him from 2017 to 2019. Buckner, a former first-round pick, has recorded four sacks this season. As the 49ers face injuries on the defensive front, his return is timely. Buckner is expected to play in Week 9 against the Las Vegas Raiders following the team's bye week.
