George Kittle News
Saturday, July 25, 10:46 AM
The San Francisco 49ers placed tight end George Kittle (Achilles) on the Physically Unable to Perform list on Saturday for the start of training camp, according to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports. Kittle is not ready to join the rest of his teammates for the start of camp after suffering a torn right Achilles tendon in the wild-card victory over the Philadelphia Eagles back in January. He is optimistic that he will be ready for the Week 1 regular-season opener in Australia against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams, but fantasy managers shouldn't be nearly as optimistic. The 49ers can activate Kittle from the PUP list at any time this summer. If the 32-year-old veteran is not ready for the beginning of the 2026 season, Jake Tonges will step in as the team's top pass-catching TE. Kittle, a seven-time Pro Bowler and two-time first-team All-Pro, is a risk/reward low-end TE1 target as he heads into his 10th year in the NFL. He'd be a massive value at the position if he returns to his pre-injury form, but the odds are against that, and he could miss the first couple of weeks of the 2026 season.

Kenyon Sadiq News
Monday, August 3, 11:41 AM
New York Jets tight end Kenyon Sadiq (hernia) was given a scheduled rest day as the team continues to manage his workload following offseason surgery, according to Antwan V. Staley. Sadiq had practiced for three straight days before the Jets held him out, and the move was described as part of his maintenance program rather than a setback. The first-round rookie underwent the procedure after participating in rookie minicamp, then missed OTAs and mandatory minicamp while recovering. He returned for the start of training camp and has been able to practice, which makes the planned day off less concerning. New York selected Sadiq 16th overall after he caught 51 passes for 560 yards and eight touchdowns at Oregon last season. He remains an intriguing piece in a tight end group that also includes Mason Taylor and Jeremy Ruckert. His next practice status is still worth checking, but there is no current indication of a new injury.
