George Kittle had plenty of injuries to rehabilitate this offseason, including a torn MCL on his toe, an issue with his shoulder, a fractured rib and a core muscle tear requiring offseason surgery.

And those recoveries led to him losing around 30 pounds since he couldn't work out.

"I couldn't lift," Kittle said during a Tuesday appearance on Bussin' with the Boys (1:00:30 mark). "I couldn't do any upper body because of my shoulder and my rib, and I couldn't do lower [body] because of my core surgery. ... I didn't lift from the Super Bowl until like almost mid-March.
