49ers give rookie Carver Willis another start at left guard to accelerate development
The San Francisco 49ers are expected to start rookie Carver Willis at left guard in Thursday's preseason finale against the Raiders. Willis, a fourth-round pick, has been taking first-team reps due to injuries to other candidates. The team believes he needs the repetitions to convert from college tackle to guard in Kyle Shanahan's system.
