49ers' Nick Zakelj: Set to miss entire 2026 season on IR
Zakelj (undisclosed) was placed on the 49ers' injured reserve Sunday.
The nature of Zakelj's injury is unclear, as is when he exactly picked up the injury. However, by being placed on IR without a designation to return, the 2022 sixth-rounder will be forced to miss the entire upcoming season unless he reached an injury settlement with San Francisco.

49ers' Nick Zakelj: San Francisco adds in sixth round
The 49ers selected Zakelj in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 187th overall.
Zakelj (6-foot-6, 320 pounds) played tackle at Fordham and has the height, weight and athleticism to stick there in the NFL. What he lacks is reach, because his 32.5-inch arms make him a liability as a one-on-one blocker on the edge. It wouldn't be surprising if he played guard instead at the NFL level, and his athleticism (5.13-second 40, 110-inch broad jump) gives him a shot to make the transition swimmingly.
