San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is trending toward a Week 3 return despite having a sprained MCL in his left knee.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the "belief" within the 49ers organization is that Kittle will be back for next week's game against the New York Giants. The All-Pro has been spotted walking without a limp at 49ers facilities throughout the week.
An injury of this nature typically keeps a player out of the lineup for several weeks.
