Surprise contender could shake up 49ers roster at tight end
Briefly

Going into training camp, the San Francisco 49ers' tight end group was seemingly set with George Kittle leading, but veteran Logan Thomas's release shook things up significantly.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan expressed confidence in Jake Tonges's abilities, noting that they had seen a lot of him on the practice squad and he's consistently taken advantage of opportunities.
Tonges has emerged as a strong contender for a roster spot, showcasing his blocking skills and ability to catch passes, though competition remains fierce.
In a group where blocking is critical, Saubert excels, while the likelihood of keeping only three tight ends means tough decisions lie ahead for the coaching staff.
