Surprise: DT Dorsey won’t play for 49ers’ struggling defense

Oct 6, 2016 at 4:30 PM--


The 49ers' already injury riddled defense won't have defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey tonight for their meeting against the Cardinals at Levi's Stadium. Dorsey had played 30 snaps in the past two games in his return from a torn ACL he sustained in November. The 49ers, who rank last in the NFL in run defense, were already without defensive tackle DeForest Buckner (foot) and linebacker NaVorro Bowman (Achilles), who was placed on injured reserve today. The 49ers will be tested tonight by Cardinals running back David Johnson, who leads the NFL in yards from scrimmage (505).

What does Corley, the former Western Kentucky wide receiver, think about the prospect of joining Samuel and the rest of the 49ers' receiving corps? It's a possibility. Corley is expected to be drafted in the second or third round this week and recently visited the team in Santa Clara. Could it be the 49ers calling his name? "Put me out there with Deebo," Corley recently told Kay Adams on the "Up and Adams" show. "Deebo, left, Malachi, right, [Brandon] Aiyuk, [Christian] McCaffrey down the middle."
