After starting the 2025 season 3-0, the San Francisco 49ers have traded wins and loses since. Head coach Kyle Shanahan has his team at an impressive 6-3 mark given the number of injuries to the roster.
One of the few positions without the depth to withstand such a growing list of physical ailments is San Francisco's offensive line. Protecting the quarterback, regardless of which one it is, has been a problem.
The Niners have struggled to adequately open up rushing lanes while also failing to protect quarterback Mac Jones. San Francisco has given up 16 sacks in the seven games that Jones has played, including two more against the New York Giants in Week 9.
