49ers CB Jason Verrett suffers torn Achilles, out for the season

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Jason Verrett just can’t catch a break.

Verrett suffered a torn achilles tendon during Wednesday’s practice, sidelining him for the remainder of the season. It’s another blow to San Francisco’s secondary, which already lost cornerback Emmanuel Moseley (ACL) for the year.

Verrett was recovering from a torn ACL he suffered in Week 1 of last season. He started the 2022 season on injured reserve and was poised to make his return Sunday against the Chargers.

Verrett has struggled with injuries during his eight-year career, which now includes two Achilles tears, two ACL tears, a severe ankle injury and a torn labrum, per Ari Meirov.
