49ers waive/injured OL Justin Skule

<div><p>The 49ers on Friday officially added veteran OL Senio Kelemete<a href="https://ninerswire.usatoday.com/2021/06/11/49ers-roster-sign-free-agnet-senio-kelemete/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">added veteran OL Senio Kelemete</a> to their roster, and waived/injured third-year OL Justin Skule to make room on the roster.</p> <p>Skule was a sixth-round pick by the 49ers in the 2019 draft out of Vanderbilt. He tore his ACL in OTAs, which ruled him out of the 2021 campaign.</p> <p>The waived/injured designation means Skule will be on waivers, but if he clears them he’ll revert to San Francisco’s Injured Reserve. That’ll end his season officially, but he’ll be able to train and recover at the facility.</p> <p>Skule’s ability to play tackle and guard should keep him in the mix for the 49ers if he does stick around.</p> <p>The 24-year-old has played in 31 games with 12 starts in his career.</p> <div id="inline-newsletter-widget" class="hidden" data-position="7"><div class="widget widget--newsletter widget--box"> <div class="newsletter__wrapper "> <div class="newsletter__signup-wrapper"> <label class="newsletter__input-label" for="newsletter-email-input"> <span class="screen-reader-text">Email</span> </label> <button type="submit" class="newsletter__button">Sign up </button> <div class="newsletter__sidetext"> <h3>Like this article?</h3> <p>Sign up for the Niners Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning</p> </div> <div class="newsletter__state newsletter__state--error"> <h3 class="newsletter__header newsletter__header--error">An error has occured</h3> <p class="newsletter__text newsletter__text--error"> Please re-enter your email address. </p> </div> </div> <div class="newsletter__state newsletter__state--success"> <h3 class="newsletter__header">Thanks for signing up!</h3> <p class="newsletter__text"> You'll now receive the top Niners Wire stories each day directly in your inbox. </p> </div> </div> </div></div></div>
