New 49ers CB Jason Verrett: ‘It’s a surreal moment’

SANTA CLARA — Cornerback Justin Verrett said his “body feels good,” and that could make his signing Thursday with the 49ers a very good thing for a suspect secondary.

Verrett’s tenure with the Chargers was waylaid by shoulder, knee and, just when he was ready to return to form last season, he tore an Achilles at the start of training camp.

“A lot of dark moments dealing with a lot of the injuries, but I came out the tunnel and I’m ready to get things rolling,” said Verrett, who nixed visits to the Houston Texans and Kansas City Chiefs after the 49ers won him over with a one-year, $3.
