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.
