Cole Hikutini, a UDFA move tight end last year, was cut and signed to the practice squad at the end of training camp. He was promoted to the 53-man roster after 5 games, and played a total of 70 snaps — divided pretty evenly between offense and special teams — over four games before an MCL sprain ended his season. He finished with 2 receptions on 3 targets for a total of 15 yards.
The highlight of his NFL career so far has been the moment when teammate Kyle Jusczcyk immortalized his Niners Nation-created nickname, Dirty ‘Tini.
