Added to injury report
Womack (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
Womack was added to the Colts' injury report Saturday and appears to be under the weather ahead of Sunday's divisional matchup. If Womack cannot play, Dallis Flowers would be slated to start at corner opposite Jaylon Jones while David Long -- who was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday -- would provide depth in the secondary.

Inconsistent pass coverage

ANALYSIS
Womack played on 28 of the defense's 90 snaps but was inconsistent in coverage. He started at left cornerback, but played fewer snaps (28) than Dallis Flowers (41 snaps), who came off the bench. However, Womack could play more snaps next week if Flowers misses time with a leg injury.

Set to return
Womack (concussion) does not have an injury designation for Saturday's game against Washington, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
ANALYSIS
Womack missed Week 15's win over Seattle while in concussion protocol, but he's been able to participate fully in practice this week and appears in line to play Saturday. His return will primarily impact the 49ers' special-teams unit, as Womack has logged only one defensive snap over his past three games.

Won't play Thursday night
Womack (concussion) is listed as out for Thursday's game at Seattle, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Womack will miss his first game this season as he recovers from a concussion he sustained during San Francisco's win versus Tampa Bay on Sunday. The rookie fifth-rounder's speed will be missed by the 49ers' punt and kick coverage units until he returns.

Lands in San Fran
The 49ers selected Womack in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 172nd overall.
ANALYSIS
Womack registered five interceptions across five seasons, including three years as a starter at Toledo. The soon-to-be 23-year-old corner is a burner, but he certainly appears to be a bit undersized. Expect Womack to begin his career as a special teams ace.
