Racks up 80 yards and TD Kittle caught all four of his targets for 80 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-13 win over the Dolphins.

Impact Kittle gained half of his yardage on a 40-yard catch to start the second half, and he scored a 12-yard touchdown three plays later. He had just 12 receiving yards in the Week 1 win over the Rams, as Kittle returned from an Achilles tear sustained in January. Kittle will try to build on Sunday's strong performance in Week 3 against the Cardinals.

Cleared for Week 2 Kittle (Achilles) practiced fully Friday and does not have an injury designation for Week 2, according to David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel.

Impact Kittle was limited at San Francisco's first two practices of the week, but he was able to get in a full session Friday. As such, consider him ready to go for his team's Week 2 matchup with the Dolphins.

Another limited showing Kittle (Achilles) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Kittle continues to operate with a cap on his practice reps in the early going this season, which isn't a surprise considering he tore his right Achilles nine months ago. In Week 1 against the Rams in Melbourne, Australia, he recorded two catches (on five targets) for 12 yards on a 46 percent snap share, more or less looking like his normal self. Because WRs De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle), Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Christian Kirk (calf) are all sidelined for varying lengths of time, Kittle stands to benefit in the 49ers' passing game, assuming he's active on a weekly basis.

NFL Catchup: Sam Darnold Dodges IR; 49ers Lose De'Zhaun Stribling For 10 Weeks

49ers have precarious TE depth problem after Jake Tonges lands on injured reserve The 49ers placed Jake Tonges on IR with a knee injury, meaning there aren't a lot of options behind George Kittle right now.

Limited in Wednesday's practice Kittle (Achilles) was limited in practice Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Kittle operated with a listed cap on his practice reps last week before returning to action just nine months removed from tearing his right Achilles in a wild-card win at Philadelphia. In the 49ers' Week 1 victory against the Rams in Melbourne, Australia, he started, played 30 of 65 offensive snaps and gathered in two of five targets for 12 yards. San Francisco may continue to take it easy on Kittle in the early going with the long term in mind, but his status for game days doesn't appear to be in any question.

49ers injury update is bad news for George Kittle The San Francisco 49ers took another hit at tight end on Thursday against the Los Angeles Rams after Kyle Shanahan's latest injury update.

SEPTEMBER 11 • THEBIGLEAD.COM

Pair of catches in Week 1 Kittle brought in two of five targets for 12 yards during the 49ers' 27-7 Week 1 win over the Rams in Melbourne, Australia.

Impact Kittle headed into the game without an injury designation, making a remarkable recovery from January's Achilles tear to suit up in Week 1. The veteran tight end wasn't much of a factor despite the fact San Francisco lost rookie De'Zhaun Stribling in the first half to what may be a serious ankle injury. However, Kittle did help the 49ers' ground attack generate an impressive 5.8 yards per carry, and he's likely to see his participation rate progressively increase in coming weeks. Kittle's position mate Jake Tonges also suffered a potentially significant knee injury per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com, a development that could accelerate Kittle's return to a full complement of snaps.
