49ers activate Jason Verret ahead of key NFC West showdown

Reinforcements may be on the way for the 49ers defense.

The team announced today that cornerback Jason Verrett has been activated from the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform List.

Whether Verrett will be available for Sunday remains to be seen. Regardless, San Francisco needs a victory over Los Angeles to keep pace with the rest of the NFC West.

Kyle Shanahan was noncommittal when asked about the plans for Verrett.

“We aren’t ruling out this week,” said Shanahan. “Just have to wait and see how he practices and go from there.”

San Francisco’s pass defense has been in shambles since losing Emmanuel Moseley late in a win over Carolina.
