The San Francisco 49ers are signing veteran offensive guard Robert Jones to a contract, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The move adds a seasoned presence to the 49ers' offensive line depth as the team continues to shape its roster for the upcoming campaign.
Jones joins the 49ers after a stint with the Dallas Cowboys, where he unfortunately missed the entirety of last season due to a neck injury. Prior to his time in Dallas, Jones established himself as a reliable interior lineman for the Miami Dolphins, appearing in 49 games and making 30 starts during his tenure in Florida.
Per the report from The Insiders, Jones is now fully healthy and has been cleared to return to the field. The veteran guard's experience as a multi-game starter provides San Francisco with a proven option on the interior of the line. Details regarding the length and financial terms of the agreement have not yet been made public.
