Jon Feliciano works his way into 49ers’ permanent O-line mix

Spencer Burford has started all 28 of his NFL games as the 49ers' right guard. But, like his rookie season when he began splitting time with Daniel Brunskill, Burford was on the verge of sharing the position with a veteran offensive lineman, coach Kyle Shanahan said. The plan called for Jon Feliciano to begin rotating into the action in place of Burford, who has not come along as quickly as the 49ers hoped in his second season in the league. Burford was a fourth-round pick of the 49ers in the 2022 NFL Draft from Texas-San Antonio. "It had been discussed," Shanahan said of finding a role for Feliciano. "Nothing against Spencer, but I wanted to make sure that Jon knew that we were aware of how well we thought he had been doing. "So that was something I just had mentioned to him and was planning on doing it." Things changed for the 49ers when starting left guard Aaron Banks sustained a hyperextended toe that is expected to keep him out at least another game. Banks' injury opened the door for Feliciano to start at left guard in the 49ers' 34-3 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday at EverBank Stadium. He will remain in that spot until Banks is able to return to action....
