49ers training camp 2023: 5 players who are tumbling down the depth chart
By Peter Panacy
49ers offensive lineman Jaylon Moore
Sometimes, falling down the depth chart doesn't involve underperformance. It can involve injury.
Such could potentially be the case with reserve offensive lineman Jaylon Moore, who looked to be in the lead for the primary swing tackle spot behind the Niners' two bookends on the O-line, Trent Williams and Colton McKivitz.
Unfortunately for Moore, he went down with what appeared to be a knee injury during practice:
There was an injury scare today when backup LT Jaylon Moore went down on a running play. Moore eventually walked off slowly under his own power. Leroy Watson filled in for the rest of practice with the second-team unit.

This will be an interesting development, as Moore could potentially miss time between now and when he's able to take the field again, meaning another player might end up stealing his spot as that swing tackle.
Tough break for Moore.
