CB Samuel Womack is headed to the short-term IR with an MCL injury

The 49ers injury report is light once again ahead of Week 2. The only player listed is cornerback Samuel Womack, who is out with a knee injury. Womack injured his MCL and will head to the short-term injured reserve list.

Womack played on defense in garbage time, and also was a gunner on special teams. 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said Womack won’t need surgery, which is a good thing for Womack.

The 49ers have a few options on the practice squad at cornerback to replace Womack. Tre Swilling, Shemar Jean-Charles, and Qwuantrezz Knight. I’d bet on Knight getting the call this game.
