George Kittle returns to play for 49ers against Rams in Australia

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is active for tonight’s Week 1 game against the Los Angeles Rams in Australia. Kittle was removed from the injury report after completing his recovery from an Achilles injury sustained in January. The 32-year-old participated in individual drills last month after his activation from the Physically Unable to Perform list. His return to the active roster follows a period of uncertainty regarding his availability for the season opener. This matchup represents the first time an NFL game has been held in Australia. Elsewhere in the league, the Seattle Seahawks opened their season with a 13-10 win over the New England Patriots, a game that saw injuries to Sam Darnold and A.J. Brown.
