Woerner caught one of two targets for four yards during Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers. Known for his blocking prowess, Woerner isn't expected to be involved in the passing game very often. In four seasons with San Francisco, Woerner caught 11 passes (15 targets) for 120 yards. Starting tight end Kyle Pitts played 54 offensive snaps in Week 1, securing all three of his targets for 26 yards and a TD, while Woerner saw only 23 snaps on offense.

Woerner caught one of two targets for four yards during Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers. Known for his blocking prowess, Woerner isn't expected to be involved in the passing game very often. In four seasons with San Francisco, Woerner caught 11 passes (15 targets) for 120 yards. Starting tight end Kyle Pitts played 54 offensive snaps in Week 1, securing all three of his targets for 26 yards and a TD, while Woerner saw only 23 snaps on offense.
Woerner made the Falcons' initial 53-man roster Tuesday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports. Woerner and Ross Dwelley signed similar contracts this offseason and will open the season as the primary backups to Kyle Pitts. Woerner has a strong blocking acumen and is expected to be heavily involved in the running game, per Josh Kendall of The Athletic. Woerner also has plenty of experience on special teams, playing 1,257 snaps over four seasons in San Francisco.
Woerner plans to sign a three-year, $12 million contract with Atlanta, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports. After parting ways with Jonnu Smith, the Falcons have now decided to add Woerner as a blocker at tight end. Woerner saw just three targets over 303 offensive snaps with the 49ers in 2023.
