49ers' Nick Zakelj: Active at OTAs
Zakelj participated in drills during OTAs on Tuesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Zakelj went to the 49ers' injured reserve list with ruptured biceps just after the middle of last season, but he's now evidently healthy enough for football activities again. He'll compete for a depth role on the interior of the offensive line this year.

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.
