Ben Garland

The 49ers' starting pivot will spend at least the next three weeks on injured reserve. Journeyman Hroniss Grasu is the next man up. From the line to the backfield, the 49ers' rushing attack is dealing with a ton of injuries at the moment. 

Garland arguably earned his return with the Niners, starting the final six games for the organization (including all three postseason contests) in place of injured Weston Richburg. Worst-case scenario for bringing the 31-year-old back is San Francisco simply having quality interior depth throughout the season.

Garland will help add some depth to the Falcons offensive line before their matchup against the Jaguars on Sunday.

Yet another depth move on the offensive line for Denver. They are trying to keep as many big bodies around in order to keep Peyton upright this season.
