NFL.com is going to have to update their listed weight for San Francisco 49ers guard Joshua Garnett. The site currently lists him at 321 lbs, but the 2016 first-round pick posted a video on Wednesday showing he is down to 302.
Garnett, who started 11 games for the 49ers as a rookie in 2016, spent all of last season on injured reserve. He injured his knee during a training camp practice and had surgery on August 10, 2017, to "clean out" the knee.
"We challenged Josh," head coach Kyle Shanahan told
49ers.com on Monday at the annual owners' meetings. "We wanted him to take the year to get his body in the best shape possible. Seeing him at the end of the year in December, it looked like he took advantage of his time off. He got his body fat down and his weight down. I think he's in the best shape of his life, and he's given himself a chance to help us this year."
Garnett will compete with Laken Tomlinson, Jonathan Cooper, Zane Beadles, Erik Magnuson, and possibly a draft pick for one of the two starting guard spots this offseason.
"We took a long-term view with Josh. … So we made that decision (to put him on IR), which was a hard one but we certainly hope that he responds well," general manager John Lynch
said in November. "He's working his tail off. He's done a great job of really changing his body composition."

Rapoport: 49ers send clear message to teams inquiring about Brandon Aiyuk
Ian Rapoport didn't offer much of an update on the ongoing contract negotiations between the San Francisco 49ers and their standout wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk. However, the NFL insider emphasized one thing: The team is not entertaining trade discussions at this juncture.
Reacting to Aiyuk's decision to unfollow the 49ers on Instagram, Rapoport couldn't help but chuckle at the latest development. This practice has become commonplace among players who are unhappy with their contract situations. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel similarly took this action in 2022 before requesting to be traded just before the draft.
Things have yet to escalate that far with Aiyuk, but Rapoport sees his
7-round mock draft from The Athletic sees 49ers fortifying defense early
Analyst Dane Brugler recently revealed his seven-round mock draft for The Athletic, forecasting all 257 selections in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft, set to kick off next week.
"Piecing together a mock like this is time consuming, but I enjoy the exercise, because it allows me to focus on each team's needs, organizational trends and prospect-team pairings that make sense based on '30' visits, league buzz and overall interest," Brugler wrote.
Most expect the 49ers to address the trenches early in the draft, and Brugler has the team doing that. It's just not on the offensive side of the football. In fact, Brugler doesn't have San Francisco
