ROSS DWELLEY NEWS

No targets in Week 15 Dwelley went without a target while playing nine of the Falcons' 74 snaps on offense in Sunday's 42-21 loss to the Vikings.

Impact Dwelley has suited up for all 13 of the Falcons' games this season but has consistently played behind Kyle Pitts and Charlie Woerner as the team's No. 3 tight end. The 29-year-old has notched just one reception on the campaign, which came back in Week 11 in Denver.

Not seeing much time on offense Dwelley logged eight of the Falcons' 73 snaps on offense in Sunday's 34-14 loss to the Seahawks.

Impact Dwelley and fellow backup tight end Charlie Woerner (11 snaps) saw limited playing time behind starter Kyle Pitts (55 snaps), a trend that's likely to persist moving forward, especially when the Falcons fall into a negative game script. Though he should continue to suit up on most game days due to his blocking skills and ability to contribute on special teams, Dwelley is unlikely to draw many looks in the passing game from quarterback Kirk Cousins. Dwelley has yet to earn a target through Atlanta's first seven contests.

Expected to be block-first TE Dwelley made the Falcons' initial 53-man roster Tuesday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Dwelley and Charlie Woerner signed similar contracts this offseason and will start the campaign as backups to Kyle Pitts. Dwelley played sparingly on offense in San Francisco, but he's a stout block and will be involved in Atlanta's running game, per Josh Kendall of The Athletic.

Happy Birthday to Ross Dwelley! San Francisco 49ers tight end Ross Dwelley celebrates his birthday on January 26.

Lands on IR The 49ers placed Dwelley (ankle) to the injured reserve Saturday.

Impact Dwelley sustained a high-ankle sprain in Week 13 against the Eagles. He hasn't managed to suit up since, and with his placement on IR, his season is officially over. Dwelley had one catch on two targets for 12 yards over 12 games this season as he operated mostly as a pass-blocking tight end and on special teams.

Lands on IR The 49ers placed Dwelley (ankle) to the injured reserve Saturday.

Impact Dwelley sustained a high-ankle sprain in Week 13 against the Eagles. He hasn't managed to suit up since, and with his placement on IR, his season is officially over since the 49ers have a max of four games left. Dwelley had one catch on two targets for 12 yards over 12 games this season, operating mostly as a pass-blocking tight end and special-teams player.

Misses practice Wednesday Dwelley (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Dwelley's absence from the practice field Wednesday was expected, as he suffered a right high-ankle sprain in Sunday's win over Philadelphia and is expected to miss some time. The veteran tight end has worked primarily on special teams this season, and he's logged more than four offensive snaps just once since Week 5. As such, his likely absence against Seattle this coming Sunday shouldn't have a significant impact on San Francisco's offensive game plan.

Returning to San Francisco Dwelley re-signed with the 49ers on Monday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Dwelley will remain in San Francisco, where he's spent the entirety of his career since signing there as an undrafted free agent in 2018. The 28-year-old played in 12 games last season and recorded three catches for 105 yards and a touchdown. Dwelley should provide solid depth behind George Kittle as well as adding value on special teams next season.

49ers sign S Myles Hartsfield, TE Ross Dwelley

The San Francisco 49ers have signed free agent safety Myles Hartsfield to a one-year contract and re-signed tight end Ross Dwelley to a one-year deal

MARCH 20, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Serves backup role in 2022 Dwelley had three receptions for 105 yards and a touchdown across 12 active regular-season games in 2022.

Impact Dwelley was able to produce a couple of big plays while George Kittle recovered from an injury to start the season, but he ultimately was limited to special teams for the majority of the year. The 27-year-old will become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, but he is unlikely to land in a situation that warrants fantasy consideration after posting forgettable totals through the first five years of his pro career.

Remains out Dwelley (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Cardinals, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Dwelley has only suited up once in the team's last six games, including Week 18. He'll work to earn a chance to play once the playoffs begin for the 49ers.

JANUARY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Healthy scratch again Dwelley (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Buccaneers. Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Dwelley will be a healthy scratch for the second consecutive week. The 27-year-old seems to be firmly behind Charlie Woerner and Taylor Kroft on the team's positional depth chart as backups to George Kittle, which will keep him sidelined again.

DECEMBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out Sunday Dwelley (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Dolphins. Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Dwelley will sit for the first time this season, while the 49ers will dress George Kittle, Charlie Woerner and Tyler Kroft at tight end. He'll work to earn a chance to suit up Week 14 against the Buccaneers.

DECEMBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Just six snaps Week 12 Dwelley went without a target while playing six of the 49ers' 70 snaps on offense in Sunday's 13-0 win over the Saints.

Impact Dwelley served as the 49ers' No. 3 tight end Sunday, playing six snaps while starter George Kittle played 68 and top backup Charlie Woerner played 17. Woerner is regarded as a superior blocker, so expect him to continue to play ahead of Dwelley while Kittle is healthy.

NOVEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Part of big splash play Dwelley caught his lone target for 56 yards in Sunday's 31-14 win over the Rams.

Impact Dwelley -- normally a backup tight end -- played most of his 19 offensive snaps at fullback in place of Kyle Juszczyk (thumb). The 27-year-old saw only one target, but he made it count by running a crisp wheel route out of the backfield for a huge gain. With the 49ers entering a bye week, there's a good chance Juszczyk returns before the team's next game against the Chargers on Sunday, Nov. 13. Dwelley currently isn't a roster-worthy fantasy option.

Back in full Friday Dwelley (ribs) practiced in full Friday, Lindsey Pallares of the team's official site reports.

Impact Dwelley sat out practice last week with a ribs injury, but he ultimately played through the issue in Monday's 24-9 win over the Rams. Although the 235-pounder failed to practice again Thursday, his ability to participate in full Friday indicates he's no longer in danger of missing Sunday's contest against the Panthers. With George Kittle reclaiming the No. 1 tight end spot for San Francisco, Dwelley has seen a combined nine offensive snaps over the 49ers' last two games.

Ready to go Monday Dwelley (ribs) will play Monday against the Rams, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Dwelley didn't practice last week until Saturday, but he's feeling healthy enough to suit up against the Rams. The 27-year-old only played four offensive snaps last week and never saw a target in George Kittle's return. He's a dart throw at best for fantasy purposes, even in DFS single-game contests, as long as Kittle remains healthy.

OCTOBER 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 4 Dwelley (ribs) practiced in limited fashion Saturday and is questionable for Monday's game against the Rams, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Dwelley's limited session was his first practice participation of the week. Since the return of George Kittle, Dwelley has been relegated nearly exclusively to special teams duties.

OCTOBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sits out Friday's practice Dwelley (ribs) didn't practice Friday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact Dwelley has missed back-to-back practices ahead of Monday's divisional clash with the Rams due to a rib injury. The extent of the issue remains unclear, but he'll have just one more practice before the team makes a decision on his status for Week 4. With George Kittle back, Dwelley played just four offensive snaps in Week 3, so his potential absence wouldn't be a significant blow to the 49ers offense.
