Cornerback depth has emerged as a sneaky-concerning issue for the San Francisco 49ers during training camp.
The Niners have their starters all but locked into place with Deommodore Lenoir and Renardo Green poised to man the boundary spots, and all indications are rookie defensive back Upton Stout is well on his way to seizing the starting nickel role.
Behind those names, though, the cupboard is proverbially bare.
In the wake of a recent roster transaction, it's even barer. According to NFL insider Aaron Wilson of Houston's KPRC2, San Francisco is parting ways with veteran cornerback Tre Avery:
Avery was claimed off waivers by the 49ers last December but didn't appear in any games for the Niners after the roster transaction.
