The 49ers announced cornerback Jason Verrett would miss the rest of the season as he tore his Achilles during Wednesday’s practice. After being a full participant Monday, Verrett was listed as a limited participant Wednesday, which felt fishy.
The Niners were counting on Verrett. Here’s head coach Kyle Shanahan on Verrett before Wednesday’s practice:
“I thought he was real close, we considered him last week or two weeks ago. I know he was here for a lot of the time when we were away. I know he did some stuff down on his own, where he goes and so I expect him to be further along this week.
