There were also several missing starters. Trent Williams, for instance, didn’t suit up at all.
Obviously, the “John” in Feliciano’s reply refers to 49ers general manager John Lynch.
Feliciano announced his retirement back in February. In his announcement on social media, he said: “After months of weighing my options, I realized I had to leave the game. The fire is still there, but I know I can’t last a full season and can’t bring myself to let people down. Being on a team and unable to help out your boys is rough. That being said, Buffalo or SF, I’ll be ready for a playoff run in December if you need me.”
So while he said he’d be down to return in December, maybe the 49ers can get him to come to the team a bit earlier if the offensive line issues are that concerning. Like we said: there were a lot of faces you didn’t see in Saturday’s loss, but if the 49ers want to plug Feliciano in, they need John to call.
