49ers claim cornerback from the Titans off waivers

The San Francisco 49ers might not have the services of cornerback Charvarius Ward in Week 18. Ward was ruled out for Monday night’s game against the Detroit Lions after he received news that his family is expecting a child.

Unless there are contract clauses we’re unaware of, there’s little reason for Ward to play next week, either. That would explain why the Niners claimed former Tennessee Titans cornerback Tre Avery off waivers, per the transaction wire.

Avery, an undrafted free agent from the 2022 NFL Draft out of Rutgers, played 103 snaps with the Titans this season on defense and special teams. He only logged two snaps on defense, so that tells you the 49ers are looking for depth on special teams. Avery has done most of his work on the punt coverage and return teams.

It’ll most likely be Yiadom, but I’m not sure the coaching staff is sold on his style of play. Regardless, these final two games are meaningless, other than the fact that there are valuable reps for the younger players, like Renardo Green, who has been exceptional as a rookie.
