Niners Add a Tight End

The San Francisco 49ers picked up tight end Terry Jones off waivers from Baltimore on Tuesday and waived tight end Trent Smith.

Jones has been used mostly as a blocker in Baltimore's three tight end sets and has yet to make a catch this season. He has 50 receptions for 417 yards with five touchdowns during his four-year career.

Smith, who was claimed off waivers earlier this season from Baltimore, had three catches for 7 yards for San Francisco. A seventh-round pick out of Oklahoma in 2003, Smith missed his first two seasons after breaking his leg during his first preseason game as a rookie.

The 49ers re-signed center Norm Katnik to the practice squad.
