8/24/24 | Ex-Cal TE Jake Tonges Makes Strong Bid to Make 49ers' Roster. The San Francisco 49ers took a serious look at former Cal tight end Jake Tonges in Friday's preseason game, and he did everything he could to make the regular-season roster. It seems Tonges has a decent chance of making the final 53-man squad after the final cuts are made this Tuesday. Tonges played in the first half Friday and even played when starting quarterback Brock Purdy was in the game, and Tonges produced some attractive numbers in the 49ers' 24-24 tie with the Raiders.
