San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan spoke to the media Monday afternoon to provide a few injury updates. First, Shanahan confirmed cornerback Jason Verrett has a torn ACL and will miss the rest of the season.
“I’ll believe in Jason until he doesn’t want to do it,” Shanahan said. The team is working with Verrett’s wife to bring her out to West Virginia, where Verrett will remain with the Niners on their current road trip as they prepare for the Eagles.
I asked Shanahan how aggressive the team planned on being in the cornerback market and how much of a challenge it’d be to find a quality player who could help the 49ers right away.
