49ers' Ephesians Prysock: Won't make debut Thursday
Rotowire
Prysock (coach's decision) is officially inactive for Thursday's game against the Rams, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Prysock was expected to serve as a depth option in the 49ers' secondary in 2026, but, at least for Week 1, he'll be a healthy scratch. In his stead, free-agent acquisition Jack Jones could get increased snaps on defense.

Prysock (shoulder) was a full participant at the 49ers' practice Tuesday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Prysock suffered a shoulder injury in the team's preseason finale versus the Raiders on Aug. 27 but he now appears to be back to full health. The 23-year-old is expected to operate as a top reserve option behind Renardo Green (hamstring) and Deommodore Lenoir at cornerback during his rookie campaign.

Rotowire
The 49ers selected Prysock in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 139th overall.
In a lot of ways, Prysock is similar to former Washington teammate Tacario Davis, who was selected in the third round (72nd overall) by the Bengals. Prysock (6-foot-3, 196 pounds) is also an unusually tall corner, and he was only trivially slower than Davis in the 40 (4.41 versus Prysock's 4.45). Also like Davis, Prysock's tall frame dictates that he focus at the boundary corner position, and ideally in press man coverage or Cover-3 principles to best capitalize on his height, reach and speed. With guys this tall they usually struggle against quicker, smaller receivers or/and with zone transitions, though.
