Jack

Stoll

With Jake Tonges dealing with an MCL injury, the 49ers added Stoll to the practice squad for depth. Stoll spent last season with the Saints, catching six passes for 46 yards in 15 games. He initially signed with the Eagles as an undrafted free agent in 2021 and has not surpassed 200 yards receiving in a single season over the course of his career. Stoll’s specialty is blocking and we could certainly see him contribute for the 49ers’ run game if Tonges is out for a while and George Kittle still working his way back to a full workload.

The Browns also released CB Tre Avery, CB Tyler Hall and OT Tyre Phillips. The Browns waived TE Drew Biber, OT Jeremiah Byers, P Nik Constantinou, S Christopher Edmonds, CB Nate Evans, DT Coziah Izzard, DT Patrick Jenkins, CB Jeremiah McClendon, T Izavion Miller, DE Jamil Muhammad, WR Ben Patterson and TE Jermaine Terry II.

You better not wait on a blocking tight end in free agency, folks, the new meta is here. Stoll, 28, played 15 games for the Saints last year and was targeted 11 times in 209 snaps. He’s here to forge holes, not catch balls.

After coming into the league with the Eagles, Stoll was a member of the Dolphins’ practice squad during the 2024 season but did not appear in a game. He’ll likely compete for a depth role behind Juwan Johnson, Foster Moreau, and (possibly?) Taysom Hill in New Orleans.

Huntley was activated off injured reserve Thursday, but he’ll be the emergency quarterback for Thursday’s bout against Green Bay. Skylar Thompson will be the backup for Tua Tagovailoa versus the Packers instead.

Calcaterra continued to fill in for the injured Dallas Goedert (hamstring) and caught a few deep targets on the day. He was the No. 3 pass-catching option, with a 28-yard catch his longest of the game. Jack Stoll also saw increased snaps with Goedert out, catching his only target for six targets, though he was primarily in for blocking. If Goedert continues to miss time, Calcaterra has low-end TE2 fantasy viability.

Stoll missed time during training camp with a brain injury and never made an impact upon his return, according to New York beat writers. The former Eagles tight end is likely to land with another team before Week 1. The Giants tight end depth chart includes Daniel Bellinger, Theo Johnson, and Lawrence Cager.

A 2021 UDFA, Stoll has spent his entire three-year career in Philly. Although he has just 20 career catches, Stoll could be part of the Giants’ pass-catching calculus if Darren Waller goes through with retirement. Already 26 years old, Stoll isn’t terribly projectable up the seam.

How many weeks Goedert misses will be determined after his MRI and surgery, but the veteran tight end will miss at least a few games. The veteran tight end has caught 38 passes for 410 yards and two touchdowns this season, and is a key piece of the Eagles’ offensive attack both on the air and on the ground. Jack Stoll, a UDFA from the 2021 draft class, is listed behind Goedert on the team’s unofficial depth chart, and played the second-most snaps among Eagles tight ends in Week 9. He would be the early favorite to start after the Week 10 bye.

Stoll appears to be the Eagles’ primary pass-catching tight end with Dallas Goedert injured. However, his role is a far cry from Goedert’s. He’ll be a complete desperation option in Week 14 against the Giants.
