The San Francisco 49ers announced their inactive players for Week 16 against the Colts, with Ricky Pearsall out due to injury, Yetur Gross-Matos activated from IR, and additional practice squad elevations to bolster the team for the game.
The San Francisco 49ers have made several roster changes ahead of their game against the Seattle Seahawks. Defensive lineman Yetur Gross-Matos has been activated from the Injured Reserve List, while cornerback Darrell Luter Jr. and punter Mitch Wishnowsky have been placed on it. Additionally, punter Pat O'Donnell has been promoted to the active roster from the practice squad, and safety Tashaun Gipson Sr. and cornerback Nick McCloud have been elevated from the practice squad. Offensive lineman Jon Feliciano's status has been downgraded to out for the upcoming game.
The San Francisco 49ers have made several moves to bolster their defensive line, acquiring DL Maliek Collins from the Houston Texans, signing DL Jordan Elliott and DL Yetur Gross-Matos to two-year deals, and re-signing DL Kevin Givens to a one-year deal. Collins, a veteran with eight years of experience, joins the team after a productive season with the Texans. Elliott, originally from the Cleveland Browns, and Gross-Matos, from the Carolina Panthers, bring youth and potential to the 49ers' defensive front. Givens, who has been with the 49ers for five seasons, adds continuity and depth to the team's defensive line.
The San Francisco 49ers have signed former Carolina Panthers defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos to a two-year, $18 million deal, adding depth to their defensive end position. Gross-Matos, who has overcome personal tragedies and showed promise in his football career, is seen as a significant addition to the team. The 49ers also recently agreed to terms with veteran Leonard Floyd. The team's moves in free agency are generating excitement among fans and analysts as they prepare for the upcoming NFL season.
The San Francisco 49ers, unable to reach an adjusted contract with Arik Armstead, have agreed to terms with free agent defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos on a two-year, $18 million deal. Gross-Matos, who had 4.5 sacks last season, will join the 49ers after spending his first four seasons with the Carolina Panthers.
The Carolina Panthers have activated cornerback Jaycee Horn, defensive back Jeremy Chinn, and outside linebacker Yetur Gross-Matos from injured reserve, providing a boost to their defense. Horn returns after tearing his hamstring in the season opener, while Chinn and Gross-Matos have been out since the bye week. The Panthers, currently ranked sixth in total defense and fifth in passing defense, are looking to benefit from the return of their top cover player and another pass-rusher. Additionally, the team activated defensive end Chris Wormley and guard Justin McCray from the practice squad to add depth to their roster.
