Summary
The 49ers are eyeing depth at tight end as George Kittle recovers from an Achilles tear, with Jake Tonges leading the backup charge. Hayden Rucci, a UDFA with Miami experience and a familiar offensive scheme, could be a surprise contender—but his role is likely blocking, not catching. With Luke Farrell locked in by his lucrative contract, Rucci’s 53-man shot is slim unless injury strikes. Expect him to stay on the practice squad, possibly as a scout-team player.
