Josh Norman Fantasy

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Josh Norman (lungs) is dealing with two bruised lungs and tissue damage that may have caused some internal bleeding, according to sources. Norman is undergoing more tests on Monday after getting injured in the Sunday night loss to the Green Bay Packers. Doctors will be cautious, but he is in good spirits and is hoping to play in Week 4 against the Seattle Seahawks. Jason Verrett is already out for the year, and K'Waun Williams (calf) was also injured on Sunday night, so the 49ers secondary is thinning out considerably. Packers top receiver Davante Adams certainly took advantage in Week 3, and the Seahawks and their top receiving duo of DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett could do the same in Week 4.

San Francisco 49ers defensive back Josh Norman (chest) was taken to the hospital Sunday night after exiting the first half of Week 3's 30-28 loss to the Green Bay Packers. He was spitting up blood and ruled out for the rest of the game. The hospital stay was precautionary and all tests came back negative. Norman is considered day-to-day. The 33-year-old was in a rotation and racked up three tackles and forced fumble over two games in 2021. Stay tuned for further updates.

San Francisco 49ers veteran cornerback Josh Norman, who signed with the team less than two weeks ago, is expected to start against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 2, according to a source. The 33-year-old former shutdown corner played in nine games with the Buffalo Bills last season, but eventually he became more of a depth player in Buffalo's secondary late in the year. The Niners are struggling at cornerback with Emmanuel Moseley (knee) out this weekend and with the oft-injured Jason Verrett already on Injured Reserve. The 49ers defense/special teams was a popular fantasy pick because of their strong defensive line, but they could be vulnerable through the air on Sunday against Philly.
