Jason Verrett Fantasy Stats

The Houston Texans released veteran cornerback Jason Verrett on Wednesday. The 2014 first-round pick signed with the team's practice squad on October 11, but he is already being let go. Verrett spent four seasons with the San Diego/Los Angeles Chargers to begin his career before three seasons with the San Francisco 49ers. Unfortunately, the 32-year-old has suffered multiple ACL and Achilles tears in recent years, derailing his promising career. He has not played in an NFL game since 2021.

The Houston Texans signed free-agent cornerback Jason Verrett to their practice squad on Wednesday. Verrett spent the last four years with the San Francisco 49ers, and Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans was the team's defensive coordinator for the last two seasons. Verrett's NFL career has been plagued by constant injuries. He played in one game in 2019 before suffering a season-ending ankle injury and tore his ACL in the first game in 2021. Verrett tore his Achilles last October and also suffered a torn Achilles and ACL while playing for the Los Angeles Chargers after they drafted him in the first round in 2014. The 32-year-old has played in just 40 games (36 starts) since entering the league in 2014.

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Jason Verrett (Achilles) suffered a torn left Achilles tendon in practice on Wednesday and is out for the rest of the season. The former first-rounder in 2014 by the Chargers has had the worst injury luck. He was a Pro Bowler in his second year in the league in 2015, but he's played in double-digit games in just two seasons and he had yet to take the field in 2022 after tearing his right ACL in Week 1 of last year. The 31-year-old has played in just 15 games for the 49ers since joining them in 2019. It's been one serious injury after another for Verrett in his career, and he'll be looking for a new home after he rehabs his torn Achilles in 2023. The 49ers secondary has also lost Emmanuel Mosley (knee) for the year.

The San Francisco 49ers placed defensive back Jason Verrett (knee) on the Physically Unable to Perform list on Tuesday, meaning he will miss at least the first four games of the regular season. The oft-injured Verrett is still trying to recover from surgery to fix a torn ACL in his knee. The former first-round pick of the Los Angeles Chargers in 2014 has never played in more than 14 games in a season, and he's played in double-digit games in a single season just twice in seven NFL campaigns. Until Verrett returns to the team's active roster, Ambry Thomas will have a bigger role in the 49ers secondary as depth.

The San Francisco 49ers re-signed cornerback Jason Verrett to an undisclosed one-year deal on Monday. He has appeared in 15 games (14 starts) over the last three seasons and has 65 tackles, seven passes defensed and two interceptions since signing as a free agent in March of 2019. The former first-rounder of the Los Angeles Chargers in 2014 has been devastated by injuries in his career, playing in just 25 games for the Bolts in his six seasons with the team. Verrett was a Pro Bowler in 2015 with the Chargers, when he finished with 47 tackles, 11 passes defensed and three interceptions (one for a touchdown) in 14 games (13 starts). If Verrett can stay healthy, he'll be a nice asset for San Francisco's secondary in both coverage and against the run.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters that he thinks cornerback Jason Verrett (knee) suffered a torn ACL in the Week 1 win over the Detroit Lions. It's terrible news for a player that just has not been able to stay healthy. Verrett was a first-round pick by the Chargers in 2014, but he's never been able to play in a full season due to injuries. Last year was only the second time in six seasons that he's played over 10 games. If he does indeed have a torn ACL, the 30-year-old will surely miss the rest of the 2021 campaign. Defensive backs K'Waun Williams and Deommodore Lenoir would see more playing time if Verrett is done for the season. Despite the bad news, the 49ers defense will remain a strong starting option for fantasy managers throughout the year.

The San Francisco 49ers re-signed cornerback Jason Verrett to a one-year deal worth $5.5 million on Monday. Verrett had multi-year offers on the table from other teams, but he is deciding to bet on himself again and can make a total of $6.5 million if he makes the Pro Bowl in 2021. The 29-year-old was a first-round pick by the Los Angeles Chargers in 2014, but his career has been sidetracked by various injuries. He played in just one game before landing on Injured Reserve in 2019 and played in 13 games for the Niners in 2020, recording 60 tackles (50 solo), two interceptions and seven passes defensed. Verrett was a Pro Bowler in his second season with the Chargers in 2015 and has been exceptional in the secondary when healthy. He will be providing depth in San Francisco's secondary in 2021, and if he remains on the field and produces, he could cash in in 2022.

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Jason Verrett has shown up looking frisky in training camp and is earning some starter repetitions. Verrett was a Pro Bowler for the Chargers in his only healthy season in 2015, and he could emerge as a legitimate option in the team's secondary opposite Richard Sherman if he can just stay on the football field. A first-round pick in 2014, the 29-year-old has all the skills in the world to be a top-notch defensive back, but injuries have been the story of his career to this point. He only played in one game for San Fran in 2019 before landing on Injured Reserve. An already strong 49ers Defense could be even better if Verrett can remain healthy in 2020.

The San Francisco 49ers re-signed cornerbacks Jason Verrett and Dontae Johnson to undisclosed one-year deals on Monday. Verrett, a former first-round pick by the Chargers in 2014, has played all of six games since 2016 due to various injuries. He was a Pro Bowler in 2015 with the Bolts, but Verrett just hasn't been able to stay on the field and prove his worth in the NFL. Anything San Francisco can get from the 28-year-old will be considered a plus at this point. Johnson spent time with the Chargers and Niners last season, playing nine games and recording only three tackles.

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Jason Verrett (Achilles) is "a leading candidate" to start in 2019 opposite Richard Sherman. Verrett missed all of last season and played in just one game for the Chargers in 2017. He's played in 25 games since being taken in the first round in 2014. The 27-year-old has the talent to be an elite cornerback in the NFL, but he'll first need to prove that he can stay on the field for a long period of time.
