The San Francisco 49ers appear set to start Mike Person at right guard this Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings, but that is not entirely clear at this point. Joshua Garnett has been pushing for the job, and on Wednesday, head coach Kyle Shanahan would not firmly nam Person the starter.
When asked if Person would start on Sunday, Shanahan simply said Person is leading it right now. He then said that it does not mean Garnett cannot pass him up. He sees Garnett as being a “little” behind Person, and this would be a season-long competition.
