49ers Place Rookie Mykel Williams on IR, Elevate Clelin Ferrell and Sebastian Valdez

Ferrell reaches a third game-day elevation, which would require a 53-man contract for any further appearances.

Overview

  • San Francisco placed first-round defensive lineman Mykel Williams on injured reserve after tests confirmed a torn ACL suffered late in the Week 9 win over the Giants.
  • The team activated offensive lineman Ben Bartch from injured reserve to fill the roster spot opened by Williams' move to IR.
  • Defensive linemen Clelin Ferrell and Sebastian Valdez were elevated from the practice squad for the Week 10 matchup against the Rams.
  • Ferrell is available for Sunday after recording a sack in last week's victory at MetLife Stadium.
  • Under NFL rules, Ferrell's third temporary elevation means the 49ers must sign him to the 53-man roster for any future game-day availability.
