Overview
- Gross-Matos re-injured his hamstring in his first practice back on Thursday and will miss Week 9 at MetLife Stadium.
- NBC Sports Bay Area reported he is a potential injured‑reserve candidate, which would sideline him for at least four games.
- The defensive line is depleted, with Nick Bosa out for the season, Bryce Huff sidelined by a hamstring issue, and Sam Okuayinonu plus Jordan Elliott listed as questionable.
- To bolster depth, the 49ers acquired Keion White via trade and signed Clelin Ferrell to the practice squad.
- Kyle Shanahan said the team is "real low on numbers," with White expected to play and a possible Saturday elevation for Ferrell.
