San Francisco 49ers rookie guard Joshua Garnett suited up for Sunday’s game as one of the team’s two backup offensive linemen.
However, the 49ers still feel comfortable putting him into the game at left guard. The team is trying to make him more versatile. Garnett is seeing work at right guard during practices, too. He did not see any action on offense during the 49ers' 46-27 loss to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, but participated in six plays on special teams.
Garnett began training camp at right guard, but the Outland Trophy winner from Stanford was quickly moved to left guard because the 49ers’ coaching staff determined he was a better fit at that spot.
