The San Francisco 49ers will get a look at their fourth starting free safety of the season in Week 12. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Wednesday there is little chance Adrian Colbert is able to play on Sunday. He said that Antone Exum Jr. and Dexter McCoil will compete for the free safety job until Colbert returns.
Colbert suffered a broken thumb in Week 10, and had surgery earlier last week. It remains to be seen when exactly he will return, but unlike Jimmie Ward and Jaquiski Tartt, he should hopefully be able to return to the free safety role before the end of the season.
