Shon Coleman hasn’t had the best of luck with the 49ers since 2018

The San Francisco 49ers had question marks at tackle entering 2018, which was a prime reason why the team brought aboard former Cleveland Browns starting tackle Shon Coleman just ahead of the regular season.

Coleman wasn’t expected to start that year, despite being a 16-game starter in Cleveland the previous year. But he was intended to be the primary outside reserve behind the tackle tandem of Joe Staley and Mike McGlinchey.
