Totals seven yards Pruitt recorded one reception on one target for seven yards in Sunday's Week 3 win over the Colts.
Impact Pruitt was on the field for just over half of the team's offensive snaps as Anthony Firkser (knee) remained sidelined. His only reception of the game came relatively late in the fourth quarter, when he converted a first down to keep a drive alive that ultimately resulted in a field goal. Pruitt is primarily utilized as a blocker, though he did log three receptions in Week 2 against Seattle.

Sees increased opportunity Pruitt recorded three receptions on three targets for 43 yards in Sunday's Week 2 win over the Seahawks.
Impact Pruitt benefitted from the absence of Anthony Firkser (knee) to log 55 snaps. While many of the targets of the offense were funneled to Julio Jones, A.J. Brown and Derrick Henry, Pruitt still served as the team's primary pass-catching tight end. Pruitt was particularly involved in the team's first drive of the second half, when he logged two of his receptions for 21 yards. Firkser did participate in two limited practices prior to being inactive for the Week 2 matchup, so he could be back for a Week 3 contest against Indianapolis.

Nabs practice squad spot Pruitt has signed on with the Titans' practice squad, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Impact Pruitt missed out on a 53-man roster spot with the 49ers but found a new home to continue his NFL pursuit after just a few days. The signing makes sense for Tennessee given that he's played each of the last three seasons in Nashville.

Cut by San Francisco The 49ers released Pruitt on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact Pruitt joined the Niners in June and then injured his calf late in July. The tight end was forced to miss about a month of training camp, which made him fall on the team's depth chart. On Tuesday, the 49ers cut Pruitt, as they already have enough quality options at tight end in George Kittle and Ross Dwelley.

Impact Pruitt missed a significant portion of training camp due to a calf injury, but he's now back on the field. The sixth-year pro is competing for a depth gig in San Francisco's tight-end corps, where George Kittle stands as the unquestioned No. 1 option.

Will miss some time Coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday that Pruitt (calf) will miss some time, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact Pruitt, who joined the 49ers in June, looks to be competing for a depth role in San Francisco. George Kittle is unquestionably the 49ers' top tight end, and Ross Dwelley seems like the favorite for the No. 2 role. However, if he can return to practice soon, Pruitt could very well compete with Charlie Woerner and Josh Pederson for the No. 3 spot.

Linking up with Niners Pruitt agreed to a contract with the 49ers on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact The 29-year-old tight end will be moving on to his fifth organization since entering the NFL in 2015 as a fifth-round pick. He spent the past season with the Titans, filling a depth role and recording five receptions for 49 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He'll add some more depth to the 49ers' tight end room heading into training camp.

Minimal role as receiver Pruitt recorded five receptions for 49 yards and two touchdowns across 11 games with the Titans in the 2020 regular season.
Impact Pruitt recorded at least one reception in only four games this season, though he did serve as an option in the red zone occasionally. However, he is regarded as a strong run blocker and was utilized primarily in that role by the Titans. Pruitt is on an expiring contract and will hit unrestricted free agency this offseason.
