49ers’ Two Starting Cornerbacks Miss Second Straight Practice Before Cowboys Game

The team will issue Friday game-day designations that will determine how San Francisco handles pass-coverage shortfalls.

Overview

  • The 49ers’ starting cornerbacks Deommodore Lenoir and Renardo Green did not practice for a second consecutive day, leaving their availability unclear for Sunday.
  • Christian McCaffrey returned to full participation on Thursday after being listed as a rest day earlier in the week.
  • Linebacker Dre Greenlaw (knee) and left tackle Trent Williams (shoulder) were limited in Thursday’s practice report.
  • Wide receiver Mike Evans remains out while recovering from Achilles tendonitis, but coach Kyle Shanahan said on KNBR that Evans’ return “is getting real close.”
  • The team will set formal designations on Friday and could activate or promote veteran options to cover the secondary if the corners are ruled unavailable.
