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.
ANALYSIS
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.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
After spending the entire 2023 campaign hidden on San Francisco's practice squad, Tonges was a surprise addition to the 49ers' 2024 53-man roster. With 2023 third-round pick Cameron Latu latching on with Cleveland in the aftermath, the 2022 UDFA out of the University of California leapfrogged up the depth chart to become one of George Kittle's primary backups. With just one official target and no receptions in his first two years in the NFL, we may finally get a glimpse of how Tonges operates as backup tight end in Kyle Shanahan's complex offensive scheme.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Key role for SF to begin 2026?
Tonges is likely to re-sign with the 49ers as a restricted free agent in the offseason and could play a prominent role to begin the season, according to Kevin Patra of NFL.com.
ANALYSIS
Tonges had 29 catches for 269 yards in the six regular-season games that George Kittle missed during the 2025 regular season, and San Francisco's quarterbacks had a passer rating of 126.4 while targeting Tonges. Kittle tore his Achilles during the playoffs and is uncertain to be ready for the start of the regular season. Tonges had five catches for 59 yards in Kittle's absence in the playoff loss to Seattle prior to leaving that game due to a foot injury, which is believed to be far less serious than Kittle's issue and isn't expected to impact Tonges' availability for offseason activities.
