Coming out of the Bye Week, things were looking up for the San Francisco 49ers heading into Week 10. Then disaster struck Wednesday.

On the latest edition of the Return of the Empire podcast, JayMarZZ and Amiliano Fragoso discuss the devastating injury to cornerback Jason Verrett (tore his achilles tendon), plus 49ers radio voice Greg Papa gives an eye-witness report from practice Wednesday. And, will San Francisco blow out the Chargers this week? All that and much more on this week’s episode.

Topics Discussed:

  • Jason Verrett’s injury: Timetable and initial reactions
  • Greg Papa breaks down the scene at practice Wednesday
  • Besides JV, relatively healthy 49ers team after the Bye Week
  • The first game of Deebo Samuel and Christian McCaffrey
  • Will Kyle Shanahan unleash his offense fully?
  • Down Armstead, Ebukam, and Kinlaw: Who steps up in the trenches?
