49ers TE George Kittle’s latest update has him making good use of his injury recovery this offseason, and it’ll make you laugh
George Kittle is keeping himself busy this offseason with his Achilles injury recovery. His latest task includes a middle of the night mission he was sent on.
San Francisco 49ers fans may not see TE George Kittle on the field in 2026 due to an Achilles injury he suffered in the playoffs last season against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Kittle is multiple months into the recovery from the injury at this point, and the latest update from the man himself shows he may be getting around pretty well.
George Kittle’s latest update will have 49ers fans smiling through the bad
It’s a tough blow when Kittle got hurt so late in the season. The veteran tight end sounds to be in good spirits, though, as he recently went on a spider-killing mission. Have you ever been summoned by your spouse to take care of a spider? If you answered yes, you and Kittle have something in common.
“At 4 am this morning, as I laid in a deep slumber, I was called to action by my wife who had discovered a spider the size of a half dollar in the bathroom,” Kittle wrote on X. “Without hesitation I arose to combat the intruder. Claire handed me the slant board I’ve been using for rehab, and I immediately knew the spider had no chance. It took but 1 attempt to strike down my opponent. I received hugs and kisses for my bravery and fell back asleep with confidence. Have a day gentlemen.”
The biggest takeaway here is Kittle being sure to note that he used his slant board to take the spider out. San Francisco’s All-Pro tight end has been using the board as part of his recovery.
Kittle may not be able to excite fans this season, perhaps he will late in the year, but there’s no reason to count on it. Giving the fans a reason to laugh in the dead of the offseason is cool of him. It’s a bonus that said spider was eliminated with ease in the middle of the night, and that Kittle was able to hit the hay again quickly. The saying goes ‘happy wife, happy life’ and Kittle followed suit by taking care of the eight legged creature.
