49ers Add Keion White, Bring Back Clelin Ferrell as Trade Push Continues

The moves reflect an injury‑hit front prompting an active posture before the Nov. 4 deadline.

Overview

  • San Francisco acquired DE Keion White from the Patriots for a 2026 sixth‑round pick and a 2026 seventh that is forfeited if he appears in seven games.
  • The 49ers signed DE Clelin Ferrell to the practice squad and waived OL Drew Moss, with Ferrell eligible for up to three game‑day elevations.
  • Kyle Shanahan highlighted White’s ability to play outside and rush inside and said the additions target a pass rush thinned by injuries and a zero‑sack outing in Houston.
  • ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano report the 49ers remain aggressive in trade talks heading into the Nov. 4 deadline.
  • QB Brock Purdy remains limited with a toe injury and his Week 9 availability is uncertain, and Shanahan said he would be very surprised if WR Jauan Jennings is dealt.
