In 2018, the San Francisco 49ers enjoyed one of the healthiest offensive lines in the NFL. Only one player among the starters, center Weston Richburg, missed just one start.
But this wasn’t the case in 2019 when the Niners dealt with some serious injuries for four of the five spots up front. Both tackles, Joe Staley and Mike McGlinchey, missed extended periods of time. Richburg landed on season-ending injured reserve with a knee injury, while right guard Mike Person missed two games with a neck injury.
Only left guard Laken Tomlinson started the full 16-game crop on San Francisco’s regular-season schedule.
