Summary

The 49ers received a major roster boost ahead of their preseason finale, as star tight end George Kittle was activated off the PUP list and running back Christian McCaffrey rejoined the fray after speculation about his "tightness." On "49ers Talk," Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan discuss just how important the return of both of these veterans is, and if Kittle could very well play Week 1 in Australia. Later, we hear from versatile rookie linebacker Jaden Dugger, who sits down with Matt on the seventh edition of Meet the Rookies.
