NFL rumors: 49ers hosting Sam Young for visit after Joe Staley injury

The 49ers released veteran offensive tackle Sam Young on Aug. 30. They will reportedly see him again Tuesday.

Young is scheduled to visit the 49ers in Santa Clara, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Tuesday morning.

The 49ers are likely to add another offensive lineman to their 53-man roster after Joe Staley sustained a fractured left fibula, which is expected to keep him out of action from six to eight weeks.

Rookie Justin Skule is likely to start at left tackle on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Daniel Brunskill, who can also play tackle, and Ben Garland are the only healthy backup offensive linemen currently on the 49ers’ 53-man roster.
