49ers-Eagles injuries: Garry Gilliam lost to knee injury, replaced by Zane Beadles

The 49ers are losing right tackles at an alarming rate.

The San Francisco 49ers are losing some notable players to injury. Shortly after losing Jimmie Ward to a forearm injury, the 49ers ruled right tackle Garry Gilliam out with a knee injury. Zane Beadles replaces him at right tackle.

Gilliam was in the game because Trent Brown is inactive due to a Week 7 concussion. Gilliam had been the swing tackle, but his move into the lineup meant Beadles was the swing tackle. Now that Gilliam is out and Beadles is in at right tackle, I have no idea who is the swing tackle. I can say that this likely means Erik Magnuson is now the 49ers primary interior reserve lineman.

The 49ers offensive line has been patch work, and going against a strong Eagles run defense and stout pass rush, this is not an ideal situation to be mixing and matching bad offensive linemen.
