Jim Tomsula opened his press conference on Tuesday with some significant news regarding the San Francisco 49ers offensive line.
“Joe Staley (will be) at left tackle, Alex Boone at left guard, Marcus Martin at center, Jordan Devey at right guard, and Erik Pears at right tackle,” said the head coach.
Tomsula alluded to the possibility of change during his conference call on Sunday, but mentioned then that conversations still needed to happen before he could announce anything.
Devey’s insertion into the first-team is the result of those conversations with the coaching staff.
