The injury bug haunts the San Francisco 49ers as cornerback Jason Verrett is feared to have torn his ACL against the Detroit Lions. It was one of those injuries where it looked like Verrett got his foot stuck in the turf at Ford Field. If the worst is confirmed, it will mark the second time in Verrett’s career to have suffered the injury.
Verrett recovered the first time, but this could be a season-ending injury and a career-ender.
The former TCU product was a first-round pick in 2014 with the San Diego Chargers. But his time in the league has been marred by multiple knee and shoulder surgeries throughout his career.
