The recent trend has been bringing in guys that are familiar with what the Niners do on both sides of the ball.Defensive tackle D.J. Jones had a knee sprain and is week-to-week. Free safety Jimmie Ward will have X-rays this week to see his progress and determine whether he’ll be able to start practicing. Shanahan said the goal was always for him to get back in the mix this week. Najee Toran(hand) and Marcell Harris(stinger) are all okay. Malcolm Smith is dealing with a hamstring strain, and should be back at some point this week. Trent Taylor is out 4-6 weeks with a Jones fracture. Raheem Mostert is in the concussion protocol. The 49ers think they know one of their starting cornerbacks.

That’s what we’re expecting. But his position is no different from every other position.”Ahkello Witherspoon and Tarvarius Moore https://www.49ersfanshop.com , the 49ers’ most recent third-round draft picks, and free agent signee Jason Verrett will compete on the other side. Witherspoon has appeared in 26 games with 21 starts in his two seasons; Moore played 16 games with 12 starts last season as a rookie; the injury-plagued Verrett appeared in 25 games with 23 starts in his five seasons with the Chargers.“The No. 1 thing I look for in a corner is people who can cover people San Francisco 49ers Customized Jerseys ,” Shanahan said. “So you need that in everybody. Verrett has done that. He’s played outside. He’s played inside. He has good man-to-man skills. He can play zone, also. So he fits right into our group. I just hope he’s healthy.”Shanahan said he wants all of the team’s cornerbacks to be able to play either side. “We want them to be interchangeable San Francisco 49ers T-Shirts ,” Shanahan said. “You’re one injury away so you want to mix them all around in both spots.”
