George Kittle's availability impacts 49ers' gameplan for Week 1 opener

The San Francisco 49ers approach the start of the NFL season with uncertainty surrounding tight end George Kittle's availability for their Week 1 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams in Melbourne, Australia. Kittle was recently activated from the physically unable to perform list after recovering from a torn Achilles but has been limited to individual drills so far. Offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak indicated that Kittle's presence greatly influences their offensive strategy, with specific plays designed for him. The coaching staff will closely monitor Kittle's progress over the next two weeks to finalize their gameplan.
