49ers' Yetur Gross-Matos: Green light to play Saturday
Gross-Matos (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Saturday's NFC divisional-round clash against Seattle.
Despite not practicing Thursday, Gross-Matos has progressed enough in his recovery from a knee injury to play in Saturday's playoff bout. He logged eight tackles (three solo) and one pass defense across eight regular-season games in 2025 while serving in a rotational role on the 49ers' defensive line.

49ers' Yetur Gross-Matos: Still tending to knee issue
Gross-Matos (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Gross-Matos has been playing through a lingering knee problem since Week 17 versus the Bears, and it's still bothering him as the 49ers continue their preparations for the divisional round. Barring any setbacks, though, he figures to continue to tough it out Saturday at Seattle.

49ers' Yetur Gross-Matos: Limited in Tuesday's walkthrough
Gross-Matos (knee) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
It's unclear whether Gross Matos' current knee issue is an aggravation of the same issue he was dealing with during the tail end of the regular season. His ability to log a limited practice is a sign that the injury isn't considered a long-term concern, and he'll have two more opportunities to log a full session ahead of Saturday's NFC divisional-round clash against the Seahawks.

49ers' Yetur Gross-Matos: Good to go for Week 18
Gross-Matos (knee) will not carry an injury designation into Saturday's contest against the Seahawks.
Gross-Matos will be good to go for Week 18 even though he was unable to practice Thursday due to the knee injury that's been bothering him for the last week or so. The defensive lineman will likely operate in his regular reserve role behind Sam Okuayinonu and Bryce Huff versus Seattle.

49ers' Yetur Gross-Matos: Working through knee issue
Gross-Matos (knee) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, Noah Furtado of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Gross-Matos was able to play through a knee issue during the 49ers' win over the Bears on Sunday, when he logged one tackle while playing 24 of 66 defensive snaps (36.4 percent). He previously sat out Weeks 6-15 while on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury. Gross-Matos has two more opportunities to increase his practice participation ahead of the 49ers' NFC West tilt against the Seahawks on Saturday.

49ers' Yetur Gross-Matos: Ready for Week 17
Gross-Matos (knee) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Gross-Matos managed to log consecutive limited practice sessions to end the week. The coaching staff seems to have determined that those practices were sufficient enough to clear the defensive end of any injury designation ahead of Sunday's contest. Gross-Matos should be all set to suit up as a rotational defensive end behind starters Bryce Huff and Sam Okuayinonu.

49ers' Yetur Gross-Matos: Now dealing with knee injury
Gross-Matos (knee) did not practice Wednesday, per the NFL's injury report.
Gross-Matos was activated from injured reserve prior to the 49ers' Week 16 contest against the Colts, which was his first game back from a 10-game absence due to a hamstring injury. However, the sixth-year defensive end is now working through a knee injury, and he would need to practice in full by Friday in order to avoid an injury tag against the Bears on Sunday.

49ers' Yetur Gross-Matos: Activated Monday
Gross-Matos (hamstring) was activated off the 49ers' injured reserve list Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The Penn State product has not played since San Francisco's Week 5 win over the Rams due to a hamstring injury, but it now appears he's nearing a return. Despite being activated off IR, Gross-Matos is still listed as questionable for Monday night's matchup against the Colts. If active for the Week 16 contest, he'll likely operate as one of the 49ers' top reserve defensive ends.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Gross-Matos (hamstring) should return to practice ahead of the 49ers' Week 16 tilt against the Colts on Monday, Dec. 22, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Gross-Matos landed on injured reserve in early November due to knee and hamstring injuries, which have kept him sidelined since Week 5 against the Rams. His 21-day window to return from IR opened Thursday, but he'll likely have to log at least one full practice before being cleared to return.
