49ers Bring Back TE Ross Dwelley

The San Francisco 49ers have signed tight end Ross Dwelley to a one-year contract, marking his return after he spent last season with the Atlanta Falcons. Dwelley originally joined the 49ers as an undrafted free agent in 2018 and has played in 101 career games, totaling 45 catches for 523 yards and five touchdowns. Last season, he primarily contributed on special teams for the Falcons, making just one catch for five yards. Dwelley is expected to provide depth behind George Kittle and recent addition Luke Farrell, with his main contributions likely on special teams and as a versatile backup who can also play fullback. The team recently made several roster moves after the NFL Draft, and further additions may be forthcoming. His role in the passing game is expected to remain limited based on recent usage.
