49ers' Eric Saubert: Signs with San Francisco
Saubert signed to the 49ers' 53-man roster Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Saubert was released by the team Tuesday but returned as a third tight end behind George Kittle and Jake Tonges. The veteran made 10 combined appearances for the Cowboys and Texans last season, playing more on special teams than offense. Saubert's best statistical season came in 2022 with Denver when he caught 15 passes for 148 yards and a touchdown.

Eric Saubert: Let go by San Fran
Saubert was released by the 49ers on Tuesday.
Saubert inked a deal with the 49ers in April and was expected to primarily serve as a reserve blocking tight end. The 30-year-old made a push for a spot on the roster this preseason, but the team will instead roll with Jake Tonges as its lone backup behind starter George Kittle. Across 10 regular-season appearances with the Texans and Cowboys last season, Saubert caught three passes for 12 yards and worked mostly as a special-teamer.

49ers' Eric Saubert: Eying No. 2 role this preseason
Saubert has two receptions (three targets) for 11 yards through two preseason games with San Francisco.
The veteran addition at tight end started both exhibition games while George Kittle sat out with most of the starters on offense. Saubert is known for his blocking skills as opposed to being a vertical threat, so his preseason game log might be a good representation of the kind of fantasy numbers we will see from the 30-year-old in 2024.

49ers' Eric Saubert: Headed to Bay Area
Saubert signed a one-year deal with the 49ers on Monday.
Over the course of nine regular-season games for the Texans in 2023, Saubert (who before that suited up for one contest with the Cowboys) caught all three of his targets for 12 yards. With San Francisco, Saubert will work in a depth role behind George Kittle, and in that capacity it's unlikely he'll see enough targets in 2024 to merit fantasy consideration.

Texans' Eric Saubert: Inactive for playoff loss
Saubert did not suit up for Houston's 34-10 playoff loss to Baltimore last Saturday. He finished the season with three receptions on three targets for 12 yards over nine regular-season games played.
The Texans grabbed Saubert off the Cowboys' practice squad in response to a rash of midseason injuries at tight end. Houston still has Brevin Jordan and Teagan Quitoriano (groin) under contract and will likely make a push to bring back unrestricted free agent Dalton Schultz. As such, Saubert is unlikely to return to Houston for the 2024 season.

Texans' Eric Saubert: Limited to special teams Week 16
Saubert played all 25 of his snaps on special teams in the Texans' 19-16 overtime win over the Titans.
With Dalton Schultz (hamstring) returning to action after a two-game absence, Saubert dropped to third on the depth chart at tight end and saw his role on offense completely disappear. Even when he had been factoring into the mix on offense in recent weeks, Saubert recorded just one catch for five yards over 77 total snaps while serving mostly as a blocker during his time on the field.

Texans' Eric Saubert: Won't play Sunday
Saubert (coach's decision) is inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
The 29-year-old tight end seems to have fallen down the Texans' depth chart with Brevin Jordan returning to action in Week 11. Saubert has appeared in two games since signing with Houston in late October, playing a total of 55 snaps (36 offensive and 19 on special teams) and failing to record a single stat.

Texans' Eric Saubert: Top TE backup Sunday
Saubert was not targeted and played 12 snaps in Sunday's 39-37 win over Tampa Bay in Week 9.
Saubert was signed to Houston's active roster as both Brevin Jordan (foot) and Teagan Quitoriano (groin) were unavailable. There aren't many looks available for backup tight ends behind Dalton Schultz, who accounts 50 of the position group's 59 targets this season.

Texans' Eric Saubert: Joins Houston
The Texans signed Saubert from the Cowboys' practice squad to their active roster Tuesday.
The move corresponds with the Texans placing Teagan Quitoriano (groin) on injured reserve. Saubert joined the Cowboys' practice squad on Oct. 24, was elevated for Sunday's game against the Rams and played 14 snaps on special teams. He'll fill in as a depth tight end behind Dalton Schultz with Brevin Jordan (foot) expected to miss games.

Saubert reverted to Dallas' practice squad Monday.
Saubert didn't record any stats in Sunday's win against the Rams while playing 14 snaps on special teams. The 29-year-old just signed with the Cowboys' practice squad last week and will now wait for another chance to be elevated.

Cowboys' Eric Saubert: Promoted to active roster
The Cowboys elevated Saubert to the active roster Saturday.
Saubert joined the Cowboys' practice squad Tuesday after being let go with an injury settlement by the Dolphins on Sept. 6. He had a tryout with the Steelers on Oct. 3, but he ultimately landed in Dallas three weeks later. If he suits up for Sunday's contest against the Rams, he'll provide an additional depth piece at tight end alongside Luke Schoonmaker and Sean McKeon.

Eric Saubert: Headed to Dallas
The Cowboys signed Saubert to their practice squad Tuesday, Nick Harris of the team's official site reports.
Saubert signed with the Dolphins this past offseason, but he ended up suffering an undisclosed injury that led to his eventual release in early September. The veteran tight end out of Drake most recently played for the Broncos in 2022, and throughout his six-year NFL career, he's recorded 33 receptions for 280 yards and two touchdowns.

Saubert had an opportunity with Miami during training camp, but he suffered an undisclosed injury that resulted in him receiving an injury settlement with the team and becoming a free agent. Now healthy, the 29-year-old is looking for work again, after spending the two previous seasons with the Broncos.
