Given the specifics of George Kittle's January 11th Achilles tear, sounds like a September return is in play.

Seems relevant. It guarantees nothing for Big George, though.

When Kittle said the docs told him it was the best-case scenario for his type of injury and they expect a full recovery, I got my hopes up.

49ers hopeful about Kittle playing week 1, says Lynch.
It seems that George will be back early. If not week 1, he might miss 4 games, I'm thinking. All good news coming out of the Kittle camp these days

Im thinking he will be ready to go week 1, but they play it safe for a few weeks.

Would be the best route as we would need him more towards the halfway way point and beyond

The niners big stars are old and need to be replaced. Start with Kittle's replacement if he's available at #27-Sadiq. If Williams can be replaced go for it. McCaffery-slow him down and give him more help. Juice should be easy enough to replace. We're way past Bill Walsh-think on all of them.

Not at all. Williams is still playing at a top three level, Kittle top one and McCaffrey top three. It would be crazy to replace them. Maybe you need to watch some film or the games to see how effective they are when playing. Now it wouldn't hurt to get their eventually replacements or to rotate them out a few places here and there
