The San Francisco 49ers added to their cornerback depth over the weekend by signing Eli Apple. The former first-round pick did not play a ton last year, but his addition to the roster could spell trouble for three Niners players.
San Francisco added Apple after second-year cornerback Renardo Green went down with an injury in training camp. Green had been doing everything right in camp so his injury came at a bad time, but the hope is he will not be out for long.
Signing Apple could be a move to add more depth after the injury to Green and he could end up competing for playing time depending on how good he looks in training camp.
