Terrible news from Santa Clara. Kyle Shanahan reported Jason Verrett suffered a shoulder injury that requires rotator cuff surgery. This is Verrett’s sixth season-ending injury.
Verrett was expected to take many snaps in Sunday’s season finale against the Los Angeles Rams. The team was vocal with their support behind Verrett after his return late this season.
In a week that was built around health, preparation for backups, and heading into Wild Card week prepping for their divisional opponent, having this injury is a dark cloud around the team.
The injury happened in practice, where Verrett went for a pass attempt and fell on his shoulder.
