49ers Rush to Plug Offensive Line Gaps | NFL News

The 49ers are scrambling on the offensive line as multiple starters go down with injuries, leading to a surprise move: signing veteran Doug Kramer Jr. on a one-year deal to plug the gaps. With key players like Nick Zeigall (released after elbow issues), Carver Willis, Brett Toth, and Vadarian Lowe sidelined, the team needs immediate depth ahead of their joint practice and preseason opener. Kramer Jr., a 28-year-old with four NFL seasons under his belt and experience in the NFC West, brings exactly what they need — proven reliability and familiarity with the division. His arrival doesn’t overhaul the roster, but it’s a critical stopgap. Meanwhile, Zeigall’s release leaves Brock Purdy as the lone active player from the 2022 draft class — a sobering reminder of how quickly things can shift when injuries strike.
