49ers Lose Bryce Huff, Jake Brendel for About Two Weeks After Falcons Win

Short absences now stress a pass rush already missing Nick Bosa.

Overview

  • Kyle Shanahan said both players sustained hamstring injuries in Week 7 and are expected to be out roughly two weeks.
  • Matt Hennessey is set to handle center duties while Jake Brendel recovers, with Shanahan expressing confidence in his readiness.
  • Bryce Huff’s absence thins an already depleted edge group after Nick Bosa’s season-ending ACL tear, affecting the pass rush rotation.
  • General manager John Lynch has acknowledged interest in exploring edge help on the trade market as the deadline approaches.
  • Brock Purdy will likely miss at least another week, while San Francisco sits 5-2 and visits the Texans on Sunday.
