The San Francisco 49ers signed free-agent tight end Troy Fumagalli to an undisclosed one-year deal on Tuesday and released rookie tight end Garrett Walston in a corresponding move. Fumagalli was the longest-tenured NFL veteran at the team's rookie minicamp last weekend on a tryout basis. The 27-year-old was a fifth-round pick by the Denver Broncos in 2018 out of Wisconsin, and he last played for Denver in 2020, when he had eight receptions on 15 targets for 80 yards and a touchdown in eight games (no starts). He missed all of last season with an undisclosed injury and has just 14 catches for 118 yards and two touchdowns in two NFL seasons. Fumagalli will provide depth behind tight ends George Kittle, Charlie Woerner and Ross Dwelley.
Troy Fumagalli Hauls In Two Receptions In Win Versus Cardinals
Denver Broncos tight end Troy Fumagalli hauled in two receptions Thursday evening against the Arizona Cardinals, tallying 37 yards. The Wisconsin product caught a 23 and 14 yard reception during the game, as he continues to look for time in a crowded tight end group as the season approaches. At the moment, disregard Fumagalli in most fantasy leagues.
Denver Broncos tight end Troy Fumagalli led the team in receptions Saturday evening against the Los Angeles Rams. The former Wisconsin Badger stand-out hauled in all five targets tossed his way, totaling 44 yards. Fumagalli's longest reception of the night came via a 15 yard gain. The second-year tight end hopes to find time in a crowded, but beat up, tight end corps for the Denver Broncos, but at the moment he should be on waivers in most leagues.
Denver Broncos rookie tight end Troy Fumagalli (hernia) is a candidate to start the season on Injured Reserve after missing all of the preseason. The former Wisconsin Badger was taken in the fifth round by the Broncos. He could be a candidate to return around midseason, but he obviously won't be on the fantasy radar. Denver has high hopes for the 23-year-old in the long run.
Denver Broncos rookie tight end Troy Fumagalli is rehabbing from a sports hernia surgery that has kept him out of the practices and workouts so far. He is making progress and says he will be 100% for training camp in July. While unable to participate in the physical side, Fumagalli has attended all of the wide receiver and tight end meetings as well as studying the playbook. He will be battling with a handful of other candidates but the leading threat so far would seem to be Jake Butt who is returning after missing his rookie season due to injury. Butt likely has the edge at the moment but time will tell.
