Ryan Flournoy finds a way to get open. He may not be the first option or the second option, but he doesn't have to be.

Winning a 49ers starting guard job to open last season, ran into injury trouble and ultimately lost his job. The veteran interior O-lineman suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 2, being part of another injury-riddled 49ers season. Upon return, Bartch did not reacquire his starting job.

It was reported since the NFL combine that Osa did not like his new role on the defense, with Parker taking over as the defensive coordinator, and Osa was a great team leader and took a pay cut last season to stay with Dallas and the front office traded him, not a huge fan of that.
