"Apple, activated for the second time off the practice squad, was added to the roster for depth with Lenoir listed as questionable with a calf injury. Signed to a five-year, $92 million contract extension, last season, Lenoir has started all 10 games at cornerback after splitting time between corner and slot cyorner last season. The injury occurred during Thursday's practice and Shanahan said the following day Lenoir would be getting an MRI."
"Didn't think it was that serious, Shanahan said. Did a jog-in from a drill. Just some tightness. We'll find out more when we get an MRI. Apple was also activated for the 49ers' game against Jacksonville on Sept. 28 but didn't play a defensive snaps, playing three snaps on special teams. If Lenoir can't play, the likely starter along with Renardo Green is Darrell Luter Jr. Luter started and played 68 snaps in the Jacksonville game, his most extensive playing time of the season,"
The 49ers signed defensive end Clelin Ferrell to the 53-man roster after two recent games played following a practice-squad stint. Eli Apple was flexed from the practice squad and added to the roster as depth while Deommodore Lenoir is listed questionable with a calf injury and awaiting an MRI. Lenoir had started all 10 games and signed a five-year, $92 million extension last season. If Lenoir cannot play, Darrell Luter Jr. and Renardo Green are the likely starters. To open a roster spot the team waived quarterback Adrian Martinez; Brock Purdy will start with Mac Jones as backup.
