Thomas will undergo surgery to repair his broken right forearm, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports. Thomas broke his right forearm in the first half of Saturday's preseason loss against the Titans. The recovery from his surgery will keep the 2021 third-round pick sidelined for multiple weeks. With Thomas on the shelf, the 49ers will try out Renardo Green, Samuel Womack and Rock Ya-Sin to serve as the second starting corner opposite Charvarius Ward.
Thomas suffered a broken forearm in the 49ers' 17-13 preseason loss to the Titans on Saturday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports. Thomas left shortly before halftime Saturday and finished the contest with one tackle. The injury will mean a multi-week absence for the 2021 third-round pick that could extend into the first few games of the regular season. With Thomas sidelined, Isaac Yiadom and Rock Ya-Sin are the top candidates to push for the second starting job at corner opposite Charvarius Ward.
