On Monday, San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan didn’t report any new injuries outside of Deebo Samuel. Aaron Wilson reported that the Niners worked out a trio of defensive backs, which means we could be getting some injury news, or the team might not be happy with the performances at the position for two weeks of the season.
Based on the workouts, it might be at slot cornerback. One of the players the team worked out was Tre Herndon, who played 424 of his 482 snaps at slot cornerback for the New York Giants in 2023.
