The San Francisco 49ers offensive line has been in dire need of help since the season began and injuries have begun to pile up on the group. Against the Atlanta Falcons, Zane Beadles was called upon for emergency center duties once both Daniel Kilgore and Marcus Martin went down.
The injuries mean 2016 fifth round pick, John Theus may be getting his first start somewhere along the offensive line. If he doesn’t start, there is a good chance we see him taking a few more snaps. Given how the 49ers season has turned into a lost cause, seeing what the rookie has learned and currently brings to the table will do wonders to evaluate things for next season.
