49ers expected to sign CB Buster Skrine with K’Waun Williams sidelined

According to Adam Caplan of SiriusXM, the San Francisco 49ers are expected to sign veteran nickel cornerback Buster Skrine.

As Caplan states, K'Waun Williams is dealing with a calf strain. He exited Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers in the first quarter and did not return.

"He'll be out a few weeks," head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Monday.

The Cleveland Browns made Skrine (5-9, 185) a fifth-round selection out of Chattanooga in 2011. He has registered 66 tackles, three passes defensed, and a forced fumble through 12 games with the Chicago Bears last season. The Bears released the cornerback on March 17.

Skrine, 32, has recorded 573 tackles, 3.5 sacks, 87 passes defensed, nine interceptions, and six forced fumbles through his 10 NFL seasons.
