The 49ers reportedly worked out free-agent nose tackle Kedric Golston on Thursday.
Golston, 33, an 11-year veteran, has been a rotational player along Washington’s defensive line through most of his career. He appeared in just two games last season before sustaining a hamstring injury and going on injured reserve.
Golston (6 foot 4, 330 pounds) has been known as a leader in the locker room throughout his career. Veteran Earl Mitchell appears to be the front-runner to win the 49ers’ starting job at nose tackle.
Golston’s workout with the 49ers was reported by the Houston Chronicle.
