What happened: Jake Tonges was fined for a leg whip on the same play that caused his season-ending injury. The sequence now carries both a roster consequence and league discipline for the San Francisco 49ers tight end.

Why it matters: San Francisco already has had to adjust its tight end depth after losing Tonges. Any further movement at the position now matters more for an offense dealing with an early-season absence there.

What to watch: The next San Francisco game-day tight end rotation will show how the club handles the vacancy. Tonges' absence remains the larger issue even after the fine.
