The nickel cornerback spot was one of the few starting lineup questions for the San Francisco 49ers heading into training camp.
Defensive coordinator Nick Sorensen told reporters after Friday's practice the club has an answer at that spot. Rather than playing coy, Sorensen divulged the 49ers would lean toward the veteran as the third CB.
Nickel CB was a pretty significant problem for the 49ers last season. Ward and Lenoir were both very good, but their third CB spot was up-and-down all year.
This season they have some options again, but they'll lean on Yiadom who is coming off his best season as a pro.
