McKivitz signed a three-year, $45 million extension with the 49ers on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. McKivitz is now under contract through the 2028 season and is expected to receive $27 million in guaranteed money, per Schefter. The veteran offensive lineman has started each of the 49ers' last 35 regular-season contests and is expected to remain the team's top right tackle for the foreseeable future following Monday's extension.
McKivitz (undisclosed) is fully healthy and participated in training camp Wednesday, Mike Maynard reports. McKivitz was carted to the locker room with an undisclosed injury in the final game of the 2024 campaign. The 28-year-old offensive lineman started all 17 games for the 49ers last season. As he returns to the team, the five-year pro is focused on continuing his high-level play heading into his final season under contract.
McKivitz (undisclosed) left Sunday's 47-24 loss to the Cardinals early, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports. McKivitz required a cart to get to the locker room after he walked off the field in the second half with an undisclosed injury. The offensive lineman had been nursing a minor knee injury according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com, but it's unclear if he suffered a knee injury or something else. With San Francisco's season officially over, McKivitz will now shift his focus to rest and recovery.
