The San Francisco 49ers are likely to promote a tight end from the practice squad this week. We take a look at Geep Chryst's discussion of the depth chart.
The San Francisco 49ers tight end position was as deep as any when they reported to training camp. Three months into the season, few positions have less depth. The team traded multiple tight ends in training camp, they then traded Vernon Davis during the season, Garrett Celek is on injured reserve with an ankle injury, and Vance McDonald is going through the concussion protocol. This has left Blake Bell as the only healthy tight end on the roster.
