Heading into training camp, the tight end position is one of the few areas where the San Francisco 49ers have some question marks about its depth. However, with the addition of a veteran on Monday, the 49ers answered those questions.
According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, the 49ers are working to finalize a contract with veteran tight end Logan Thomas.
