Kyle

Nelson

Nelson still has six games to serve from a 10-game PED suspension handed down last December, but the 49ers decided to bring him back anyway. It speaks to how well he snaps snaps which travel a longer distance than traditional snaps. Nelson has snapped such snaps in San Francisco since 2014.

It’s unclear what policy Nelson violated. Someone else will need to snap the ball a longer distance than it is typically snapped through the first six games next season.

LeGree was a fifth-round pick by Seattle out of Appalachian State. Beeler was Jim Harbaugh’s center at Stanford. Reuland is blocking-challenged tight end. Nelms is not the son of former Redskins return specialist Mike Nelms.

The Bolts’ long-snapper for the past three years, Windt fractured his wrist in last week’s game at Denver. Kyle Nelson has been signed to take his place.

A former undrafted free agent, Nelson appeared in six games for the Chargers last season. They could easily end up being the only six games of his career.

San Francisco now has its deep snapper locked up through his age-32 season.

Nelson will take the place of Nick Sundberg, who suffered a season-ending knee injury in Sunday’s loss. Nelson appeared in six games for the Chargers last season.
