The 49ers are reportedly signing veteran Logan Thomas to serve as a secondary tight end behind All-Pro George Kittle.

NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo first reported the news Monday, later confirmed by Associated Press sources.

Thomas, 32, played the last four seasons for the Washington Commanders. His first year in Washington was the most productive of his career, as he hauled in 72 catches for 640 yards and six touchdowns. Last year, he had 55 catches for 496 yards and four scores.

After both Charlie Woerner and Ross Dwelley signed with the Atlanta Falcons in free agency, the 49ers looked thin at the position entering this week’s minicamp. Two players entering their second season with no career catches appeared to be next up in the pecking order: Brayden Willis, a 2023 seventh-round pick, dressed for all three playoff games last year but did not record a catch, while third-rounder Cam Latu tore his meniscus in training camp.
