“My goal is to be healthy for Week 1 and I’m slightly ahead of schedule. Everyone who is working with me is super pumped with where I’m at… We’re very excited for the season and the boys are buzzing right now.” — George Kittle
Do you think it would be irresponsible to allow Kittle to fly 15 hours one way, and 15 hours back? I kinda do.
Checking in with some folks around football, some names as standouts from the OTA period:
ReplyDelete• Eagles DB Riq Woolen
• Steelers WR Germie Bernard
• 49ers LB Jaden Duggar
• Cowboys RB Phil Mafah
• Chargers SAF RJ Mickens
• Bears WR Luther Burden III
• Packers iOL Jager Burton
• Bucs DL Calijah Kancey
• Bucs DB Benjamin Morrison
• Commanders WR Antonio Williams
• Colts LB West Weeks
• Ravens SAF Keondre Jackson
• Giants ED Kayvon Thibodeaux
Only if the 49ers medical team doctors are ok with it. If they are not, then he should stay put.
ReplyDeleteThe amount of swelling on a 15-hour flight as opposed to a 3-hour flight could be quite significant.
DeleteI agree on the extended flight time. But, with around 3 more months of recovery time, the medical staff will have a much better time for evaluation. I prefer that Kittle not make the trip, but mine is an uneducated opinion.
ReplyDeleteIt would likely guarantee a loss but I would like the team to be overly careful with health issues this season. So I would like them to not bring Bosa, Kittle and Mykel Williams to Australia.
