Report: 49ers re-signing suspended long snapper Nelson

SANTA CLARA — Long snapper Kyle Nelson’s 10-game suspension last year for performance-enhancing substances figured to end his 49ers tenure. It apparently won’t.

Nelson, with six games remaining on that suspension, is re-signing with the 49ers on a four-year deal, ESPN reported. That extends a mostly solid tenure that effectively began in 2014.

Neither the 49ers nor Nelson’s agent immediately confirmed the report.

Colin Holba replaced Nelson for the final four games last season and remains under contract.
