How will George Kittle’s Achilles recovery timeline affect the 49ers’ early season plans?
Bosa's got a little second back inside the 30-yard line. Nick Bosa drops. Aaron Rodgers for a 13-yard loss. I think Touchdown!
What's going on, everybody? Welcome to Striking Gold, your 49ers podcast on the Blue Wire Network. My name is Rob Louder. And sitting next to me, if you are watching on YouTube, is the great, the wonderful, the man at NinersNation.com, KP, Kyle Posey. Um, how was your uh how was your Memorial Day weekend?
It was fun. Gotta get outside a little bit, you know. See the outdoors, be with the fam. Yep. Touch grass as they say on the internet. Um not bad, man. No. No complaints. How about you? Did you get to do anything?
Oh, did we? Uh yeah, we did. Actually, yeah, was that this weekend? It was this weekend. Yeah, I think so. Uh yeah, m because my niece, niece in law niece, who cares, um graduated from high school. So congratulations to her. Uh so we went to that and then we went to a graduation like a postgraduation dinner, and then the next day we went to a graduation party at the same place and we went there in the morning. To help out and and like it was just it was a it was a busy weekend. It but it was fun, it was a good time. Um Just hung out with hung out with the family, hung out with the little guy. So it was a good little Memorial Day weekend. Poured one out for for for the guys that didn't come home. I had a couple of those.
Uh one one I was friends with in high school. So try not to forget about the reason that day exists. But the reason today exists is Segway to talk 49ers things. Segue Segway. The yeah, how do you segue from that? Um You don't. So, the roster rundown continues. So far we have done Quarterback, we've done running back, and we've done wide receiver, and today we are hitting up. The tight end position and offensive line. So two groups with question marks, two groups with uh wheel seas, two group groups with training camp business to shake itself out. Um we'll start with tight end. Um KP well, hold on. Basic who's on the roster? You got George Kittle. He is currently rehabbing from a very late season Torn Achilles.
Playoff Torn Achilles, right? Yes.
Caused him to miss miss the Seahawks game 'cause it happened in the Eagles game. So if you don't remember, he was in uh Jed York brought him some tequila in the locker room. Tequila and there was a scene about that. So that's
That's pretty cool, man. That's uh you know, there's I feel like there's not that many things like owner owners are kind of pigeonholed. You know what I mean? Like there's so little things that an owner can do that's not gonna give get shit. You know what I mean? People just are so sensitive about owners, but bringing your star tight end to bottle the tequila because you just tore his Achilles in the playoffs is like like that one's you you're good with that one. Everybody should be good with that one. You're gonna be on the right side of of a lot of people when you do that. Right. Right. So um He's recovering. Uh you know what and it what's crazy is that's the second time a major forty niners player has torn his Achilles in the middle of a huge postseason game.
You know what I mean? Like that's that's just some wildly bad luck. Um also on the roster, backup and recently extended, Jake Tongis. Um then you've got Luke Farrell, Braden Willis, um undrafted free agent edition, Khalil Dinkins, and Hayden Rucci. Rucci Rucci. Um shout out to Hayden. Didn't even know he was on the roster, but I found out that he is today, so good for him. Uh KP, what are your initial thoughts on this? group. No major additions, no major subtractions. Um and then they go into the season, presumably without Kittle. I mean, where are we on it? Where we at on that?
Yeah, I'm I'm not sure. I feel like the way everything's kind of been mapped out, been said, been talked about, is that Kittle's like even if he does miss time, like he should be back in September. Like he's gonna be back in the first month. So I don't know what to make of that because you can't talk about the 49ers offense without George Kittle. Like he is as big of a just as big of a piece as Trent Williams, as Christian McCaffrey.
