The 49ers on Wednesday announced a new addition to their active roster. Cornerback Jason Verrett was activated off the PUP list to fill the vacant roster spot left when Tevin Coleman was released Tuesday. The team announced Coleman rejoined them on their practice squad.
Verrett was on the PUP list throughout the preseason while he recovered from a torn ACL he suffered Week 1 of last season. The team opened his three-week practice window after Week 4, which was the first day they were able to open it based on NFL rules. Wednesday was the final day for them to make a decision on whether to activate him. Had they not activated him he would’ve remained on PUP for the rest of the season.
