The San Francisco 49ers signed veteran tight end Jack Stoll to their practice squad on September 16, 2026. This move follows an injury to backup tight end Jake Tonges, who suffered a significant knee injury in Week 1. With All-Pro starter George Kittle also managing his recovery, Stoll provides additional depth to the tight end position. Stoll, who has spent five seasons in the NFL, was previously with the New Orleans Saints, where he made a notable contribution last season by scoring his first career touchdown. His signing comes as the 49ers look to stabilize their tight end corps while Tonges is expected to be out for multiple weeks.
