San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is back to his regular playing weight after having undergone surgery for core muscle surgery.

The five-time Pro Bowler told reporters Tuesday he has returned to 243 pounds, which is right around where he's listed (250 pounds) on the 49ers' official site, after previously tipping the scales at 214.

During a June appearance on Bussin' with the Boys (via NBC Sports Bay Area's Will Simonds), Kittle said his core surgery significantly disrupted his ability to work out this offseason.
