New San Francisco 49ers cornerback
Jason Verrett, like several other Niners, is working his way back from injury with hopes of making an impact in 2019. He missed all of last season after tearing his Achilles tendon on the first day of training camp and was placed on injured reserve on August 2, 2018.
Last year wasn't his first season dealing with a serious injury. Verrett has landed on injured reserve during each of the three past seasons with his last healthy year coming in 2015. He hopes to put his injuries behind him in 2019 and show the 49ers what kind of cornerback he can be.
Verrett
joined 95.7 The Game on Friday and provided an update on his rehab.
"I'm doing good," Verrett told Greg Papa and Bonta Hill. "I like where I'm at. There's no timetable on when I'm going to be 100 percent. Once OTAs start, coming up in these next few weeks, (I'll) get familiar with the doctors and the trainers and where they want me at, and just go from there.
"But the pace I'm at, I'm definitely going to be ready for the season."
Verrett has not been in Santa Clara since signing his one-year deal with the 49ers last month. Other rehabbing players like Jimmy Garoppolo, Jerick McKinnon, and Kwon Alexander are at the team facility on a daily basis working with the newly restructured Heath and Performance staff.

The rest of the 49ers players will reconvene in Santa Clara on April 15 for the start of the offseason program. Verrett will remain in Irvine, California, where he is doing his rehab, until then.
"I only met with [the training and medical personnel] on my visit," Verrett said. "We just had a brief little conversation, but where I'm at rehabbing in Irvine. They've been great. I just told the training staff in Frisco that I'm just going to be staying here until we start.
"I actually even got the guy that I'm working with out here in touch with the 49ers training staff. That way, everybody's on the same page. Good things ahead."

Rapoport: 49ers send clear message to teams inquiring about Brandon Aiyuk
Ian Rapoport didn't offer much of an update on the ongoing contract negotiations between the San Francisco 49ers and their standout wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk. However, the NFL insider emphasized one thing: The team is not entertaining trade discussions at this juncture.
Reacting to Aiyuk's decision to unfollow the 49ers on Instagram, Rapoport couldn't help but chuckle at the latest development. This practice has become commonplace among players who are unhappy with their contract situations. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel similarly took this action in 2022 before requesting to be traded just before the draft.
Things have yet to escalate that far with Aiyuk, but Rapoport sees his
7-round mock draft from The Athletic sees 49ers fortifying defense early
Analyst Dane Brugler recently revealed his seven-round mock draft for The Athletic, forecasting all 257 selections in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft, set to kick off next week.
"Piecing together a mock like this is time consuming, but I enjoy the exercise, because it allows me to focus on each team's needs, organizational trends and prospect-team pairings that make sense based on '30' visits, league buzz and overall interest," Brugler wrote.
Most expect the 49ers to address the trenches early in the draft, and Brugler has the team doing that. It's just not on the offensive side of the football. In fact, Brugler doesn't have San Francisco
