49ers Elevate Offensive Lineman Nick Zakelj from Practice Squad for Week 8

The San Francisco 49ers have elevated offensive lineman Nick Zakelj from their practice squad for Sunday's Week 8 game against the Houston Texans. Zakelj is expected to serve as a backup at both guard and center. His elevation comes as Matt Hennessy is slated to start at center, filling in for Jake Brendel, who is projected to miss at least two games due to a hamstring injury.
