The San Francisco 49ers began Week 3 on OTAs on Monday. It’s a significant point of the offseason in which competition for spots on the roster starts to heat up. It’s Year 3 for general manager John Lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan. Their roster, still rebuilding, has several positions that are far from certain heading into the 2019 season. The lineup at cornerback will be contested throughout the offseason.
The locks
There are only three actual locks among the 49ers’ current group of cornerbacks. Veteran Richard Sherman, now two seasons removed from a torn Achilles, is slated to resume his role on the left side of the secondary.
