49ers' Colton McKivitz: Slated to start at right tackle

Offensive line coach Chris Foerster confirmed Wednesday that McKivitz will be the 49ers' starting right tackle to begin the 2023 season, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

McKivitz, a 2020 fifth-round pick, has appeared in 28 games (five starts) over his first three NFL seasons. He finds himself in line for a more prominent role during Year 4 with Mike McGlinchey now in Denver. McKivitz signed a two-year extension in March, so he's under contract through 2024.
