49ers considering their right guard options with Mike Person, Joshua Garnett

The San Francisco 49ers are all but guaranteed to have four of their five starting offensive linemen back in 2019, but right guard is a question mark. Mike Person started all 16 games and is a free agent. His backup, Joshua Garnett, has struggled to stay healthy, and is a big question mark as the 49ers are likely to decline his fifth year option later this spring.

On Wednesday, head coach Kyle Shanahan offered some optimism for both players, but seems to have been relatively non-committal about their futures. He told 49ers media at the Combine that the team would love to have Person back, using “hopefully” to describe trying to get something done.
