San Francisco 49ers evaluate Jarrett Patterson at guard and center positions

The San Francisco 49ers acquired offensive lineman Jarrett Patterson from the Houston Texans following the release of veteran guard Robert Jones. Head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed the team plans to evaluate Patterson at both guard and center to determine his fit within the offensive line rotation. The move comes as the team prepares for the upcoming season, with the starting left guard position currently undecided. Shanahan described the situation as fluid and noted that the coaching staff will utilize upcoming practices to assess Patterson alongside other team members. The 49ers continue to navigate roster adjustments after completing their final 53-player cutdown earlier this weekend. Patterson previously spent time with the Texans, where he started 21 games over his professional tenure.
