Once Again, 49ers Lose Center Daniel Kilgore

Dec 14, 2016 at 10:15 AM--


In 2014 and 2015, the 49ers missed center Daniel Kilgore. The veteran, in his sixth season, is a leader and steady presence on the offensive line.Because of injuries, he played just seven games in 2014 and five in 2015. His return to health in 2016 has been a big boost, say teammates and coaches.But Kilgore once again has been lost, having suffered an injury to his right knee in the first quarter of Sunday's loss to the New York Jets. The 49ers have placed Kilgore on injured reserve, and he will miss the season's final three games, beginning with Sunday's matchup in Atlanta against the Falcons.Kilgore's injury means Marcus Martin is the next man up to start at center. During the game against the Jets, Martin moved over from left guard to finish the game at center.

Daniel Jeremiah explains why 49ers could still address pass rush in NFL Draft

Mock drafts will never please everyone, especially when they solely focus on the first 32 selections without offering perspective on what might come beyond the first round. Regarding the San Francisco 49ers, analyst Daniel Jeremiah's latest mock draft was no different. He projected former Penn State pass rusher Chop Robinson to join the Bay Area team. Why the skepticism from fans? The 49ers' free agency focus has been on revamping their defensive front. After allowing Arik Armstead, Chase Young, and others to depart for other organizations, the team addressed last season's inconsistent play by adding defensive ends Leonard Floyd and Yetur Gross-Matos, trading for defensive tackle Maliek
