Marcus Cromartie is questionable to return against Falcons
CB Marcus Cromartie, who was activated from the San Francisco 49ers' practice squad earlier in the week, is questionable to return in the team's game against the Atlanta Falcons. He suffered a facial laceration in the second quarter of play.
The 49ers are already short-handed at the cornerback position against the Falcons. Tramaine Brock (shin), Kenneth Acker (chest, concussion), and Keith Reaser (ankle) are not playing.
Along with Cromartie, the team also activated newly signed CB Chris Davis from the practice squad.
Update:
Chromate did return to the game.

Kyle Juszczyk hopes to return to the San Francisco 49ers next season. Like so many of his teammates, he is scheduled to become a free agent. The fullback knows the situation, though. The team is pressed up against a salary cap that is expected to fall in 2021. That means some tough decisions are to be made, and Juszczyk is already by far the highest-paid fullback in the league.
