GEORGE KITTLE NEWS

Returns with monster performance Kittle hauled in all 15 of his targets for 183 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Eagles.

Impact Kittle was sidelined for two weeks after spraining his knee in a season-opening loss to the Cardinals. The 49ers did not place any limitations on the star tight end in his first game back, allowing him to rack up career highs in receptions and yards. Kittle also chipped in eight yards on an end-around, his second rushing attempt in as many games this season. Any designed runs are just gravy on top of elite receiving production. The 26-year-old remained the focal point of the passing attack even after fellow Iowa product C.J. Beathard took over in the second half, so Kittle remains a strong play whether Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle), Nick Mullens or Beathard starts against the Dolphins on Sunday.

Puts in full practice Kittle (knee) practiced without limitations Wednesday, Keiana Martin of the 49ers' official site reports.

Impact Kittle finally is in the clear after missing the last two games with a sprained MCL and bone bruise in his left knee. Upon his return Sunday versus the Eagles, he'll again have access to an overwhelming share of the reps at tight end in the wake of Jordan Reed (knee) being placed on injured reserve with the expectation he'll be sidelined up to 6-to-8 weeks. There's a chance Deebo Samuel (foot) makes his season debut Week 4, but his presence may open up the offense even more for Kittle to produce.

Impact After missing two games due to an MCL sprain and a bone bruise in his left knee, Kittle is on the verge of his first uncapped session since sustaining the injuries Week 1. Wednesday's injury report seemingly will clear Kittle of designations as the 49ers prepare for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
