The San Francisco 49ers received more good news on Wednesday night. Just minutes after Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that an MRI revealed rookie defensive end Nick Bosa suffered and ankle sprain during practice, he reported that cornerback Jason Verrett suffered a similar injury.

While not ideal, the injuries aren't considered to be serious.


Verrett's injury during practice came as he tackled running back Raheem Mostert in the open field.

The 49ers signed Verrett to a one-year deal on March 14. Injuries have plagued the cornerback during his five NFL seasons. He has landed on injured reserve in four of those years.

Verrett's one healthy season came in 2015 and resulted in a Pro Bowl selection.

"Getting a guy like Jason Verrett, his upside is huge," head coach Kyle Shanahan said last week. "He has that ability, and to get him here in this situation is great for us. I think he will be healthy here. He's put in all the work, and I'm really pulling for him."

The Chargers used the No. 25 overall pick to select Verrett out of Texas Christian in 2014. He has recorded 80 combined tackles, 19 passes defensed, five interceptions, and a touchdown during his NFL career.

"Verrett, he looks really sharp," defensive coordinator Robert Saleh said this past weekend. "He had a really nice play yesterday, showed great patience on Marquise Goodwin, which is very hard to do when he's screaming up the field. His foot quickness and speed and all that is right there, so I like the progress he's going into or he's showing."

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw is currently rehabilitating after undergoing surgery for the torn Achilles he sustained last month during Super Bowl 58. He'll have a partner in his recovery, as he wasn't the only member of the team to suffer that specific injury. Head coach Kyle Shanahan spoke to reporters on Tuesday morning at the NFL owners meetings and revealed that defensive backs coach Daniel Bullocks also sustained a torn Achilles during the game. "[It occurred] about five minutes after Dre's," Shanahan told reporters. "I think it was when [S] Ji'Ayir [Brown] got the interception, he just jumped up and cheered, very similar to Dre's, and his Achilles went too." Bullocks remained on the sideline and continued coaching throughout the

Offensive lineman Jon Feliciano and linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles recently re-signed with the San Francisco 49ers on one-year deals. OverTheCap.com has revealed the contract information for both deals. Feliciano signed a contract that includes the minimum base salary for a player with eight accrued seasons of experience—$1.21 million. Flannigan-Fowles' base salary is slightly higher, at about $1.77 million. Feliciano is scheduled to count about $2.28 million against the 2024 salary cap, while Flannigan-Fowles is slated to consume almost $1.3 million.
