The San Francisco 49ers are bringing back tight end Ross Dwelley, re-signing the University of San Diego alum to a one-year deal, per a team press release. Dwelley has been with the Niners since he signed with the team as an undrafted free agent in 2018. Terms of the contract have not yet been reported.
Over the past three seasons, Dwelley has been one of the team’s primary backups for star tight end George Kittle. While Dwelley has received 17 career starts, the bulk of his contributions over his 60 career games has come on special teams.
