According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, veteran tight end MyCole Pruitt is scheduled to visit the San Francisco 49ers next week after visiting with the Baltimore Ravens this week.
Pruitt's run-blocking grade of 74.3 from Pro Football Focus was the seventh-highest among NFL tight ends last season. His pass-blocking grade of 52.9 was a significant drop from back-to-back seasons in 2018 and 2019 with a grade of 79.0 or higher.
The Minnesota Vikings made Pruitt a fifth-round selection out of Southern Illinois in 2015. He registered five receptions for 49 yards with two touchdowns through 11 games with the Titans last season. Pruitt had been with Tennessee since 2018. Before that, the tight end spent time with the Chicago Bears and Houston Texans.
Pruitt, 29, has caught 32 passes for 343 yards with four touchdowns through his six NFL seasons.
It was
reported earlier today that former Denver Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall worked out for the 49ers.

49ers-Eagles: Goal line stand turns the tide after shaky 49ers start
If there was one significant turning point in the San Francisco 49ers' 17-11 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, it was most likely the unexpected goal line stand members of the defense produced after a 91-yard pass put their backs against the wall in the second quarter.
Down 3-0 to the Eagles with just over seven minutes remaining in the half, the 49ers had a long field behind them after a punt from Mitch Wishnowsky pinned the Eagles at their own three-yard line. But on the first play after the punt, Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts went deep for wide receiver Quez Watkins, who went for 91 yards before being brought down by safety Jaquiski Tartt and cornerback Deommodore Lenoir at the 49ers' six-yard line. A pass interference call on cornerback Josh Norman two plays
49ers protect 3 from the practice squad, re-sign CB Dontae Johnson, cut LB Elijah Sullivan
The San Francisco 49ers announced three practice squad players being protected this week as the team prepares for its Week 1 matchup against the Detroit Lions. They are wide receiver Travis Benjamin, quarterback Nate Sudfeld, and cornerback Dee Virgin.
Benjamin could provide the 49ers with some punt return flexibility heading into Sunday's game. Sudfeld could be insurance in case rookie Trey Lance is unavailable. Lance suffered a chipped bone in the index finger of his throwing hand during San Francisco's preseason finale. Cornerback Emmanuel Moseley is dealing with a hamstring injury, which might explain the decision to protect Virgin.
NFL teams can protect up to four practice squad players per week from being signed by other teams. In addition, teams can

As the excitement builds for the kickoff of the NFL regular season, we gain insight into media expectations via the final 2021 preseason power rankings for the San Francisco 49ers.
For the avid NFL football fan, there is perhaps no act so trivial, yet so enjoyable, than participating in an NFL mock draft. I challenge you to identify an activity countless fans engage in for fun despite their realistic expectations of complete and utter failure.
Similar is the process of preseason power rankings, which can be quite entertaining to review at the conclusion of the season -- provided you weren't the one doing the ranking. The glaring difference between the two is power rankings are written with the intention of being correct; but like mock drafts or final roster
