The San Francisco 49ers secondary is one of the more banged up units on the team, and things got a bit more concerning. The 49ers announced that safety Antone Exum has been downgraded to questionable status for Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers due to his quadracep injury.
This injury is new, as it didn’t show up on Wednesday’s practice report. If Exum is unable to play, that would leave Tyvis Powell as his backup and Jimmie Ward possibly an option as well given the latter’s familiarity with the system.
