George Kittle just keeps getting better. He's 31, which means he should be on the downside of his career, but he's not. He's arguably having the best season of his career. He has 43 catches for 560 yards and 7 touchdowns.

As the San Francisco 49ers prepare for their Week 11 battle with the Seattle Seahawks, the Niners appear to be getting one of their offensive stars back on the field this week, as George Kittle returned to practice on Thursday following a minor hamstring injury.

Kittle injured his hamstring during the 49ers’ Week 10 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Shanahan told reporters in a press conference before Wednesday’s practice that the All-Pro tight end wouldn’t take part in Wednesday’s session, but that the expectation was for him to return Thursday with a goal of playing Sunday.
