49ers' Jake Tonges: Injury believed to be serious
Coach Kyle Shanahan said after Thursday night's win over the Rams that Tonges' knee injury "does not look good," Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
Tonges hobbled off with the assistance of trainers in the second quarter against Los Angeles and was quickly ruled out for the remainder of the contest. He now appears to be looking at an extended absence. Luke Farrell soaked up the TE2 snaps behind George Kittle following Tonges' departure.

49ers' Jake Tonges: Will not return Thursday
Tonges (knee) will not return to Thursday's game against the Rams, Brooke Evans of the 49ers' official website reports.
Tonges was helped off the field during the second quarter of Thursday's contest, and his night will come to an early end. The extent of his status is not yet known, but his status will be updated again when more details are available.

49ers' Jake Tonges: Questionable to return Thursday
Tonges (knee) is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Rams, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Tonges came up limping in the second quarter and was unable to put any weight on his right leg while being assisted off the field by the Niners' training staff. The tight end didn't draw a target prior to suffering the injury. Luke Farrell will be in line for more snaps while Tonges is sidelined.

49ers' Jake Tonges: Quiet in preseason win
Tonges did not record any stats in Thursday's 41-17 preseason win against the Chargers.
Tonges only played 18 snaps during Thursday's contest, and the ball was never thrown his way. He currently projects to start at tight end for the 49ers come Week 1 in the event that two-time All-Pro George Kittle (Achilles) is not available. However, per Adam Schefter of ESPN, Kittle still has a real chance to suit up in that Week 1 matchup in Australia against the Rams, a development that would leave Tonges with a significantly smaller role.

49ers' Jake Tonges: Taking part in camp
Tonges (foot) is participating in practice to begin training camp, Brooke Evans of the 49ers' official site reports.
Tonges appears back to full health after having suffered a plantar fascia injury during San Francisco's playoff loss to the Seahawks back in January. With George Kittle (Achilles) having been placed on the active/PUP list to start training camp, Tonges currently is positioned as the 49ers' top tight end. If Kittle's recovery lingers into the regular season, Tonges could kick off the 2026 campaign with a notable workload.

49ers' Jake Tonges: Signs extension
Tonges (foot) is signing a two-year, $8 million contract to stay with the 49ers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Tonges was scheduled for restricted free agency and presumably would've gotten some kind of tender if the two sides hadn't worked out this deal. He suffered a plantar fascia injury during the playoff loss at Seattle in January, but it's thought to be less serious than the Achilles tear that George Kittle suffered a week earlier. Tonges thus stands a chance to start Week 1.

49ers' Jake Tonges: Has plantar fascia injury
Tonges suffered a plantar fascia injury in his foot during this past Saturday's divisional-round loss at Seattle, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Tonges flashed at times during the 2025 campaign when George Kittle was sidelined for a variety of injuries, totaling a 40-366-5 line on 55 targets in 19 games, including two postseason contests. He made an early exit in the third quarter of the divisional round and wasn't able to return, and now the nature of his health concern is known. Tonges has a three-week recovery on tap, so he should be fully healthy before the 49ers need to make a decision on his restricted free-agent tender in March.

49ers' Jake Tonges: Suffers foot injury
Tonges is questionable to return to Saturday's divisional-round game against the 49ers due to a foot injury, Eric Williams of NFL on FOX reports.
Tonges suffered a non-contact injury early in the third quarter. He was able to hobble off the field and was spotted running up and down the sideline. Tonges was already filling in for the injured George Kittle (Achilles), so the 49ers could have a depleted tight end room for the rest of this matchup.

49ers' Jake Tonges: Replaces injured Kittle on Sunday
Tonges caught one of three targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 23-19 wild-card win over the Eagles.
After top tight end George Kittle exited the game in the second quarter with what is believed to be a torn Achilles tendon, the 49ers opened up more playing time for Tonges to begin the second half. Tonges has operated as San Francisco's third tight end on the depth chart for most of the season, but he's leapfrogged blocking specialist Luke Farrell whenever Kittle has missed time. The 25-year-old Tonges proved to be a viable receiving threat when called upon, averaging 4.8 receptions and 44.8 yards with three touchdowns scored in the six games that Kittle was inactive during the regular season. Assuming he's called upon to replace Kittle in the divisional-round matchup versus the Seahawks next weekend, Tonges should make a fine value play in DFS.

49ers' Jake Tonges: Stuck on ST with Kittle back
Tonges logged 11 snaps on special teams and was not used on offense in Saturday's 13-3 loss to the Seahawks.
George Kittle returned from a one-game absence Saturday, effectively pushing Tonges back down to third on San Francisco's depth chart for Week 18. Blocking TE Luke Farrell logged eight snaps behind Kittle and was not targeted in the regular-season finale. Tonges emerged in 2025 with a 34-293-5 receiving line that was generated primarily while filling in for Kittle at various points of the campaign. Assuming Kittle did not suffer a setback, Tonges will remain a non-factor for the start of San Francisco's playoff run in the wild-card round.

49ers' Jake Tonges: In line for expanded role Sunday
Tonges is poised for a bigger role in the 49ers offense Sunday versus the Bears due to George Kittle (ankle) being inactive, Briana Jeannel of the team's official site reports.
Kittle is missing his first contest since he sustained a mid-to-low ankle sprain last Monday at Indianapolis. When Kittle was sidelined in Weeks 2-6 due to a full tear of his hamstring that occurred in the season opener, Tonges was the primary pass-catching TE between himself and Luke Farrell, with the former accruing a 22-209-2 line on 31 targets during that span. Tonges thus is about as good of a streaming option remaining in the midst of fantasy championship weekend with just two games left in the Week 17 slate.
