The 49ers appeared to know a punishment for Nelson was imminent, though the specifics of his suspension have not yet been disclosed. Last week, the team worked out five long snappers, according to longtime sports reporter Howard Balzer.
49ers tryouts reported: LBs Tyrell Adams (signed to PS), Thurston Armbrister, Michael Wilhoite; LSs Tanner Carew, Jon Condo, Lucas Gravelle, Colin Holba, Taybor Pepper; WRs Max McCaffrey (signed to PS), Jordan Smallwood, Jordan Veasy.

Nelson is slated to enter free agency after the 2018 season concludes. He will be suspended for the first six regular season games he plays beyond the current season.
