Although the 49ers won their preseason opener Saturday night, they did lose a few players to injury in the process.
Coleman was expected to be the backup at both offensive tackle positions, so the team likely will act fast in bringing in a replacement, as NBC Sports Bay Area’s Jennifer Lee Chan reported.

After being traded to San Francisco from the Cleveland Browns before the 2018 season, Coleman did not appear in a game for the 49ers.
Garry Gilliam, whom the 49ers cut in February, could be a logical replacement, as the Penn State product appeared in 24 games at tackle for the team over the last two seasons.
After also losing receiver Trent Taylor to a leg injury Saturday, the 49ers’ training staff will be quite busy over the next week.
