Mandatory Credit: Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports The San Francisco 49ers re-signed Logan Thomas on Thursday to a one-year contract, nearly two weeks after releasing the veteran tight end.
In a corresponding move, the 49ers waived safety Tayler Hawkins with an injury settlement.
Thomas, 33, had signed a one-year deal with San Francisco in June after he was released by the Washington Commanders. The 49ers, who are looking for depth behind All-Pro George Kittle, released Thomas on Aug. 9 as he was slowed during training camp by a hamstring injury.
He caught 55 passes for 496 yards and four touchdowns in 16 games (15 starts) last season for the Commanders.
Thomas has 219 career receptions for 2,002 yards and 16 touchdowns in 94 career games (57 starts). He was a college quarterback at Virginia Tech and has played in the NFL for the Arizona Cardinals (2014), Buffalo Bills (2017-18), Detroit Lions (2019) and the Commanders (2020-23).
Hawkins, 26, has been on and off the San Francisco practice squad since late August 2022. He played in one game last season for the 49ers. Hawkins started and made one interception, four tackles and one pass defended in a 21-20 loss on Jan. 7 to the visiting Los Angeles Rams.
