Tonges carted off with knee injury; was key Kittle backup with 29 catches in 2025.

Suffered a knee injury during the second quarter of the 49ers' season opener against the Rams in Melbourne on September 11, 2026, while attempting to block Myles Garrett; was carted to the locker room. Tonges had emerged as an important depth piece behind George Kittle, catching 29 of 40 targets for 269 yards and three touchdowns during the six games Kittle missed in 2025, running 200 routes over that span and earning a two-year, $8 million contract in the offseason. Loss of Tonges for any extended period would test San Francisco's tight end depth, with Luke Farrell as the other active roster option.
