San Francisco 49ers TE Nate Byham (knee) is back after a season-ending injury, and he is trying to hold off TE Konrad Reuland for the third tight end job. Byham is viewed as more of a blocker than a receiver, while Reuland is considered to have much better hands. Byham’s chances of making the roster might also hinge on how well DL Demarcus Dobbs does at the tight end position. Dobbs, who has shown an ability to block, would make Byham rather redundant.
