Re-signs with San Francisco Tonges re-signed with the 49ers on a one-year, $1.03 million contract Thursday.
Impact It's the value of the exclusive rights tender for Tonges, who appeared in 16 regular-season games last season but saw just 34 snaps on offense. He played 232 snaps on special teams, and that figures to be where he'll fit in next season, should he make the 53-man roster.

No targets through 14 games Tonges played all 14 of his snaps on special teams in Thursday's 12-6 loss to the Rams.
Impact Tonges has suited up for all 14 of the 49ers' games, but the reserve tight end has yet to draw a target. He's seen the overwhelming majority of his playing time on special teams, as he's logged just 30 snaps on offense all season.

Survives roster cuts Tonges was one of three tight ends kept on the 49ers' active roster heading into Week 1 of the regular season.
Impact San Francisco surprisingly kept the undrafted Tonges over 2023 third-round pick Cameron Latu when finalizing rosters earlier this week. The latter was picked up by Cleveland as an addition to its practice squad, while Tonges immediately becomes one of the primary backups to starter George Kittle after earning zero snaps in 2023 as a reserve. Now the question becomes how Tonges is deployed behind his superstar teammate -- in terms of playing time and targets -- compared to fellow backup Eric Saubert.

Staying with 49ers Tonges signed a reserve/future contract with the 49ers on Tuesday.
Impact Tonges spent last season with San Francisco's practice squad and is now set to return to the team.The 24-year-old hasn't appeared in a regular season game since 2022, and he will now spend the offseason competing for a roster spot.

Bears Claim Two Players off Waivers A linebacker and tight end have been added to the Bears roster after they waived Jake Tonges and Andre Szmyt.

Sticking around in Chicago The Bears signed Tonges to a reserve/future contract Monday, Larry Mayer of the team's official site reports.
Impact Tonges opened the regular season as one of two fullbacks on Chicago's active roster, and he appeared in three of the team's first four games before being waived heading into Week 10. He then signed with the team's practice squad shortly thereafter, and he was elevated for the Week 15 loss to Philadelphia. Tonges finished the 2022 season with one target while playing 16 of his 26 snaps on offense, so he'll likely compete for a similar depth/special-teams role during this offseason.
JANUARY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Shifts back to practice squad Tonges reverted to the Bears' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Impact Tonges was activated from the practice squad for the first time this season Sunday against the Eagles, and he went on to log all seven of his snaps on special teams during this loss. The undrafted rookie spent the first nine weeks of the season on Chicago's active roster before being waived Nov. 10, and he has now recorded one target with zero catches across four games this season. Tonges will be eligible for two more elevations from the practice squad this season, so he'll likely continue to serve as the team's No. 3 tight end behind Cole Kmet and Ryan Griffin if Trevon Wesco (calf) remains out Week 16 versus Buffalo.

Joins Chicago's practice squad Chicago signed Tonges to its practice squad Saturday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Impact Tonges appeared in three of the Bears' first four games of the season, but he failed to haul in his only target across 16 offensive snaps. The rookie wideout found himself a healthy scratch once Chicago's wideout room got healthy and was ultimately waived, but he's been brought back on a practice-squad deal.
