49ers' George Kittle: Won't require offseason surgery

Kittle said Wednesday that he doesn't expect to undergo any offseason surgeries, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Kittle toughed it out through a number of injuries during the past season -- including a torn labrum in his right shoulder that's bothered him since the 2018 preseason -- but he anticipates requiring "just rehab" to get healthy this offseason. Coming off back-to-back years of at least 80 catches, 1,000 yards and five touchdowns, the 26-year-old tight end's priority will be getting back to 100 percent health in time to kick off the 2020 campaign. Kittle is expected to be a full participant in both OTAs and training camp.
