49ers place tight end Jake Tonges on injured reserve for the season

The San Francisco 49ers lost tight end Jake Tonges for the season due to a torn MCL requiring surgery. This injury comes after the team's 27-7 win against the Los Angeles Rams in their season opener. Tonges, who was expected to play a significant role with George Kittle's limited capacity due to injury, recorded 34 receptions, 293 yards, and five touchdowns last season. The team responded by signing veteran tight end Jack Stoll to their practice squad and promoting Brayden Willis to the active roster. The 49ers are set to face the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
