The 49ers have agreed to a one-year extension with offensive tackle Shon Coleman, according to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports (on Twitter). Last year, Coleman came into training camp last year as the favorite to become the team’s main swing tackle. Then, he suffered a season-ending ankle injury that caused the team to change course.
Coleman suffered a dislocated ankle and fractured fibula during the first game of the preseason, an injury that immediately ruled him out for the rest of 2019. Fortunately, he’s now fully recovered and ready to help the defending NFC champs.
In other Niners news, DeForest Buckner is now a member of the Colts thanks to Monday afternoon’s shocking trade. In the swap, the 49ers have received the Colts’ first-round pick at No. 13 overall, a selection that could be flipped to give them a better stockpile of picks in April.
