If George Kittle has anything to say about it, the San Francisco 49ers will be getting the tight end back for their Week 18 bout with the Seattle Seahawks.
According to ESPN's Nick Wagoner, Kittle spoke with reporters following Wednesday's practice and provided about as optimistic of an update as he could've given on the injured ankle he's been dealing with since leaving the 49ers' Week 16 victory over the Indianapolis Colts.

"Fabulous," Kittle said per Wagoner. "Great position for Saturday night to punch a one seed. So just with that, I'm doing fantastic."
Kittle also told reporters he "absolutely" plans to suit up against Seattle.
This is great news for a San Francisco offense that still managed 42 points without their star TE in their Week 17 win over the Chicago Bears. Kittle had four catches for 25 yards and a touchdown against the Seahawks in Week 1. In his career he has 60 catches for 833 yards and 8 touchdowns in 14 career games vs. Seattle.
