Laken Tomlinson will have a chance to compete at guard prior to 49ers-Seahwaks

The San Francisco 49ers could be looking at an offensive line shakeup just one game deep into the 2017 season. After the offensive line allowed four snaps against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed that backup guard Laken Tomlinson will get a chance to compete for a starting spot prior to the Week 2 game against the Seattle Seahawks.

Tomlinson is listed as the backup left guard and the biggest issue on the line is Zane Beadles, the starter at that position. Beadles has always been an average blocker and for a time, that was suitable for the 49ers.
