Where do the 49ers stand at tight end with the updated 53-man roster?

The San Francisco 49ers made a flurry of moves at tight end ahead of the 53-man cutdown deadline on Tuesday, cutting five players at the position: Eric Saubert, Cameron Latu, Brayden Willis, Mason Pline, and Logan Thomas.

That left the team with just two tight ends, George Kittle and undrafted free agent Jake Tonges, on their 53-man roster, which seemed to be a surprise at first, given the team usually carries four on the roster.

Following the waiver period on Wednesday, where do the 49ers stand at tight end with the updated 53-man roster?

While the team cut five tight ends, three ultimately are expected to return to the roster after some initial Injured Reserve (IR) moves, as Saubert will take an active roster spot, serving as the No.
