Reserve tackle Shon Coleman has yet to take a regular-season snap with the 49ers, but an injury to a fellow lineman improves his 2021 roster chances.

It’s almost crazy to think veteran offensive tackle Shon Coleman has been with the San Francisco 49ers since 2018 but has yet to take a regular-season snap with the team since.

Coleman, a third-round pick of the Cleveland Browns out of Clemson back in 2016, eventually started 16 games his second year in the NFL before being moved to the Niners in 2018 for a seventh-round draft pick.
