We\u2019ll see if Jones re-signs with the team or lands on the practice squad.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">They may have believed Jones was expendable, which is why the 49ers traded for former Texans guard Jarrett Patterson. The 49ers gave up a 7th-round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft for Patterson.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Patterson was drafted by former 49ers offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik back in 2023. As a rookie, Patterson started the first eight games of the season at center. Patterson suffered a fractured fibula in his right leg in Week 8, which cost him the rest of his rookie year in 2023. In 2024, Patterson played 537 snaps at center for Houston. He essentially started every game from Week 10 on that year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">During the 2025 regular season, Patterson played 267 snaps at left guard and 67 at center. Last preseason, he was exclusively a center. Patterson spent time playing left and right guard this past preseason for the Texans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">According to Sports Info Solutions, Patterson had an above-average blown block rate of 1.5% in 2024. He was close to perfect in pass protection, with only two blown blocks on 341 attempts. Most of his struggles came in the running game. That blown block rate jumped to 3.3%. League average is around 2.7%.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Patterson is on a one-year deal in 2026. His guaranteed salary is $1,145 million. The Texans will pay Patterson\u2019s $442,000 signing bonus, so the 49ers are on the hook for Patterson\u2019s cap hit of $1.395 million for 2026.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">ESPN\u2019s Jeremy Fowler said the Niners were looking to add interior depth. Patterson is that signing. Being able to play left guard in a pinch gives the Niners much-needed versatility. We\u2019ll see if Patterson\u2019s addition spells the end for Drake Nugent, Connor Colby, or both in about an hour and a half.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Patterson played most of the preseason finale for the Texans, which is usually a sign that he would\u2019ve been waived.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The San Francisco 49ers released Rob Jones, who may not have been healthy enough to practice this upcoming&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":448334,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[101,8376,8377,103,102,104,106,105],"class_list":["post-448333","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-49ers-news","tag-san-francisco-49ers-rumors","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/448333","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=448333"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/448333\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/448334"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=448333"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=448333"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=448333"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
