Shanahan: 49ers still need to get Kittle 'back into football shape'

San Francisco 49ers star tight end George Kittle is ready to make his belated 2022 debut Sunday against the Denver Broncos after missing two games due to a groin injury with head coach Kyle Shanahan declaring him “good to go” on Friday.

“We’ve got to get him back into football shape and stuff just because he hasn’t played in a little bit,” Shanahan said during his Friday media address.

Kittle himself acknowledged that coming back from injury is a process when he met with reporters after practice on Friday.
