The San Francisco 49ers are hosting offensive tackle Sam Young and working out long snappers Jon Condo and Garrison Sanborn on Tuesday. The report on Young comes from Adam Schefter of ESPN while the Condo and Sanborn news comes from Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle.
The 49ers lost Joe Staley for six to eight weeks after the starting left tackle suffered a broken fibula on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Young, 32, was
initially signed by the 49ers on August 12 after the loss of swing tackle Shon Coleman (ankle, fibula) for the season. Somewhat surprisingly, he was waived as part of the team's 53-player roster cut-down.
The Cowboys made Young a sixth-round selection out of Notre Dame in 2010. Young has 88 game appearances and 21 starts through his nine NFL seasons. He appeared in 22 games with seven starts for the Miami Dolphins over the last two seasons.
Condo, 38, is a two-time Pro Bowl selection. The Dallas Cowboys signed the long snapper as an undrafted free agent out of Maryland in 2005. He spent the majority of his career with the Oakland Raiders (2006–17) and part of last season with the Atlanta Falcons.
The Buffalo Bills signed Sanborn as an undrafted free agent out of Florida State in 2009. The 34-year-old most recently played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2017-18).

What Steve Young expects of 49ers QB Brock Purdy in 2024
Last season, Brock Purdy proved that his rookie campaign was no fluke. In his second NFL season, the young quarterback threw for a single-season franchise-record 4,280 passing yards despite coming off surgery to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his right elbow. Purdy led the 49ers to the Super Bowl, and the team is expected to be a contender again in the 2024 season.
Hall of Fame quarterback Steve Young joined Bay Area radio station KNBR on Tuesday morning to discuss Purdy's future in the NFL. Has the young signal-caller reached his potential yet? Young believes that is the wrong question. The NFL great already categorizes Purdy as one of the best processors in the league.

Steve Young shares thoughts on 49ers' WR situation, O-line
Steve Young shared his insights on the San Francisco 49ers' wide receiver situation and offensive line during a recent appearance on Bay Area radio station KNBR. Heading into the 2024 NFL Draft, there was speculation about potential trades involving top wideouts Brandon Aiyuk or Deebo Samuel. However, despite rumors swirling across the league, no deals materialized.
Aiyuk and Samuel remain on the roster, but doubts linger about their long-term presence, especially after wide receiver Ricky Pearsall was selected with the No. 31 overall pick.
Aiyuk is due a contract extension, and Samuel is already among the highest-paid players at the position. Keeping both on the roster beyond the upcoming season might prove challenging, especially with quarterback Brock Purdy
NFL.com: 49ers' selection of Ricky Pearsall adds 'smooth' separator out wide
While many were surprised to hear wide receiver Ricky Pearsall's name called during the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, NFL.com's deputy editor, Gennaro Filice, wasn't among them.
Filice handed out his draft grades for the NFC West, and while the San Francisco 49ers earned the lowest marks of the group, it was still a respectable "B-" mark.
"The first-round selection of Ricky Pearsall took many by surprise, but not this keyboard jockey!" Filice wrote. "I had the Florida wideout coming off the board in Round 1 in my final
NFL exec praises 49ers' Ricky Pearsall pick; Another believes Deebo Samuel is out next year
Mike Sando of The Athletic frequently taps into the insights of NFL executives across the league to gather intel and opinions on NFL developments, the latest being the 2024 NFL Draft. In his recent discussions with NFL executives about the San Francisco 49ers, the spotlight was on the wide receiver position.
One unnamed NFL executive praised the 49ers' choice of wide receiver Ricky Pearsall with the No. 31 overall pick.
"We loved that receiver," the executive told Sando. "The first round is probably a little high for him, but if they want the fifth-year option with him, fine."
That's an interesting perspective that has yet to receive much attention regarding Pearsall's selection. First-round picks come with a team option for a fifth year, which
