ESPN’s Field Yates tweeted that the worked out cornerback Jason Verrett, who was on the Houston Texans practice squad as recently as Wednesday.
This isn’t the first time that the Niners have brought in Verrett for a workout this season. Verrett’s last appearance in the NFL was in 2021, where he suffered a season-ending injury during Week 1 against the Lions. At 32, Verrett has seen his season ended four times from the span of 2015 through 2021.
Calling the 49ers desperate for cornerback help is a bit extreme, but them reaching out to Verrett at this stage tells us that the team wants more from their cornerback room.
