Former Tennessee Titans OT Byron Bell visited with the San Francisco 49ers over the weekend, per Field Yates of
ESPN.
As Yates points out, Bell missed the 2016 season after dislocating his ankle during organized team activities in May.
"[Bell] has really had a great offseason" Titans head coach Mike Mularkey said following the injury. "He's really worked hard. That's the first thing he said, 'I've worked so hard to have it end like this.' Those are the kinds of injuries that are going to happen in this game. It's unfortunate for him and unfortunate for us. He's a good football player, and we're going to miss him."
Bell, who was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Carolina Panthers out of New Mexico in 2011, started all 16 games for the Titans in 2015. The offensive lineman has played in 78 regular season games over his career, starting 72.

Is new 49ers backup QB Josh Dobbs an upgrade over Sam Darnold?
In 2022, the San Francisco 49ers seemed to have an embarrassment of riches at the quarterback spot. They had second-year player, and first-year starter Trey Lance, who they had traded the world away to draft. They had Jimmy Garoppolo, the team's starting QB from late 2017-2021, as Lance's backup. And they had a seventh-round draft pick in Brock Purdy, though he would be unlikely to play. Or so we thought.
After Lance and Garoppolo went down, Purdy surprised everyone by keeping the ship afloat and leading the 49ers back to the NFC Championship Game. But after an injury to the UCL in his throwing arm, Purdy's 2023 season was in jeopardy. Which quarterbacks the 49ers would take to training camp was now even more important.
