The San Francisco 49ers are expected to start Josh Norman and Deommodore Lenoir at cornerback this morning against the Philadelphia Eagles, per reports from ESPN's Adam Schefter and NBC Sports Bay Area's Matt Maiocco.
Veteran CB Josh Norman, who signed with the 49ers less than two weeks ago, is expected to start today at Philadelphia against the Eagles, per source.
Lenoir is a fifth-round draft pick out of Oregon. Norman was signed a week before the start of the season.
The 49ers lost starter Jason Verrett for the season to a torn ACL in Week 1 and Emmanuel Moseley was listed as "doubtful" in Friday's injury report due to a knee injury. The latter will likely land on the team's list of inactive players against Philadelphia but could return next weekend against the Green Bay Packers.
