The 49ers just promoted veteran cornerback Nick McCloud from the practice squad to the active roster one day before their Week 13 road game against the Buffalo Bills. In a corresponding roster move, the 49ersCharvarius Ward is expected to play, but he hasn't seen any action since Week 8, so he could be rusty. In addition, nickelback Deommodore Lenoir will miss the game with a knee contusions he suffered last Sunday in the 49ers' loss to the Packers.
Which means the 49ers cornerbacks could be Ward, Isaac Yiadom and McCloud. Not ideal against Josh Allen, who's one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. McCloud has been in the NFL since 2021 and has started 16 games, primarily for the Giants. But on Nov. 5, the Giants waived him. And once he cleared waivers, the 49ers signed him to their practice squad. Now they might need him to play.
The 49ers will be missing the following starters this weekend: Nick Bosa, Javon Hargrave, Dre Greenlaw, Talanoa Hufanga, Lenoir, Trent Williams, Aaron Banks and Brandon Aiyuk. Meanwhile, the Bills are coming off a bye week and are playing at home.Grant Cohn has covered the San Francisco 49ers daily since 2011.
