The 49ers Just Lost Two Starting Corners, And Their Depth Chart Is A Disaster Waiting To Happen

Two starting cornerbacks for the San Francisco 49ers, Deommodore Lenoir (foot) and Renardo Green (back), have missed their second practice in a row. That’s a brutal hit, leaving Ephesians Prysock, Siran Neal, and Jack Jones from the practice squad as the *only* healthy corners available. This isn’t just a bump in the road; it is a full-blown crisis for their secondary.

The Full Injury Report Is A Gut Punch For Their Lineup

The hits just keep coming for the 49ers. Beyond the starting corners, nickel Upton Stout (shoulder) was practicing, but only in a non-contact blue jersey. When you look at the full injury report for Thursday, it’s a mess. Mike Evans (Achilles) was a DNP, meaning he is out again. Lenoir and Green, obviously, didn’t participate either.

Then you get to the “limited” guys, and that’s where things get really concerning. Linebacker Dre Greenlaw (knee) and tackle Trent Williams (shoulder) were both limited, and get this: they had “veteran rest days” on Wednesday. Now they are suddenly listed with *actual injuries* on Thursday. We all know what missing Trent Williams means; that goes without saying. The same is true for Greenlaw, just maybe a little less. Their statuses for Friday’s practice are going to be critical to watch because this many key guys on the report signals real trouble.

A Small Glimmer, But More Trouble Brewing For The Offense

It’s not all doom and gloom, right? Well, almost. There is one small silver lining: Deebo Samuel (hamstring) was out there for the second day in a row, albeit limited. That’s a good sign for a wide receiver room that’s clearly going to miss Mike Evans for yet another game. But a limited Deebo with Evans out isn’t exactly firing on all cylinders.

The big question now is whether Greenlaw and Williams get upgraded for Friday’s practice. They need these guys back, pronto. The integrity of that 49ers defense, especially that suddenly paper-thin secondary, is hanging by a thread. Big questions going into the weekend!
