49ers 2019 season hinges on offensive line staying healthy

The San Francisco 49ers better hope their offensive line stays fully healthy over the course of 2019.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan was relatively lucky in this regard a season ago. Only center Weston Richburg missed any starts, and just one of those at that. Every other starter — Joe Staley, Laken Tomlinson, Mike Person and Mike McGlinchey — managed to start all 16 regular-season games in 2018.

During the preseason, the Niners caught a glimpse of what could happen if O-line attrition becomes a problem this year.
