49ers weigh veteran TE to fill Tonges gap after injury

TL;DR Summary
With Jake Tonges sidelined by a knee injury, the 49ers may add a veteran tight end to fill the gap, with Zach Ertz and former Niner Ross Dwelley as the most plausible options. Ertz, who recently showed he’s still capable after ACL rehab, could ease the return for George Kittle; Dwelley, familiar with the scheme and a Kittle favorite, would provide depth. San Francisco is expected to act quickly if Tonges misses extended time.
