Availability
Jake Tonges (knee) is set to miss the remainder of the season after undergoing a procedure to repair a torn MCL.
Fantasy Impact
Tonges suffered a knee injury in the team's season opener last week, and it has been officially diagnosed as a torn MCL. He had surgery to repair it and is set to miss the remainder of the season while he recovers. This is a significant hit to San Francisco's depth on offense, with the team now needing Luke Farrell to step up as the TE2 behind George Kittle, who himself is still getting back to form after a lengthy injury recovery this offseason.
Jake Tonges was placed on the injured reserve on Wednesday with a knee injury.
Fantasy Impact
Tonges will now miss at least the next four games after suffering a knee injury in Week 1 against the Rams. This opens up more opportunity for George Kittle, who is slowly making his way back from an Achilles injury and saw limited production in Week 1. Kittle's involvement in the offense may see a larger uptick than originally expected in Week 2 with Tonges sidelined.
Jake Tonges (knee) exited Thursday's game early and will be further evaluated Friday.
Fantasy Impact
After Thursday's win, San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said simply that it "wasn't good," regarding Tonges' injury. The early reports suggest an MCL injury, but the 27-year-old tight end's status should become more clear on Friday.
Jake Tonges will not return to Thursday’s game against the Rams.
Fantasy Impact
Tonges was listed as questionable with a knee injury. He'll continue to be further evaluated after he was helped off the field.
Jake Tonges is questionable to return to Thursday’s game against the Rams.
Fantasy Impact
Tonges had to be helped off the field with what the team is calling a knee injury. There should be an update shortly after halftime.
