Huff (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Rams, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Huff missed the 49ers' last two games due to a hamstring strain, but he has been cleared to make his return against Los Angeles after logging a full practice Friday. His return is timely for the 49ers, given that fellow defensive ends Mykel Williams (knee - ACL), Yetur Gross-Matos (knee) and Nick Bosa (knee - ACL) are all on injured reserve. Huff has accumulated 19 tackles (11 solo), including 4.0 sacks, one pass defense and two forced fumbles across seven regular-season games.

49ers' Bryce Huff: Limited again
Rotowire
Huff (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice for the second day in a row Thursday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
The pass rusher has missed the last two two games due to a hamstring strain, so even his limited participation in practice can be considered a step in the right direction. With Mykel Williams (ACL), Yetur Gross-Matos (knee), Nick Bosa (knee - ACL) and Tarron Jackson (undisclosed) all on injured reserve, the 49ers could really use Huff on Sunday against the Rams.

49ers' Bryce Huff: Limited to open week
Rotowire
Huff (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Huff has missed the 49ers' last two games due to a hamstring strain, but his return to practice Wednesday is a sign that the veteran pass rusher is progressing in his recovery. He could return against the Colts on Sunday, and his availability is key given that Mykel Williams suffered a season-ending torn ACL during the 49ers' Week 9 win over the Giants, further depleting San Francisco's defensive end depth that also has Yetur Gross-Matos (knee), Nick Bosa (knee - ACL) and Tarron Jackson (undisclosed) all on injured reserve.

49ers' Bryce Huff: Out for Week 9
Rotowire
Huff (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Huff will miss a second consecutive game due to a hamstring strain that he sustained against the Falcons in Week 7. He hasn't been able to practice since the injury, so he'll look to return in at least a limited capacity ahead of the 49ers' Week 10 NFC West clash against the Rams on Sunday, Nov. 9. Both Huff and Yetur Gross-Matos (knee/hamstring) have been ruled out for Week 9 and Sam Okuayinonu (ankle) is listed as questionable, so the 49ers may have to lean more heavily on Mykel Williams, Robert Beal and recent acquisition Keion White for snaps at defensive end.

49ers' Bryce Huff: Still sidelined with hamstring
Rotowire
Huff (hamstring) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Huff sat out Sunday's game at Houston due to a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 7 versus the Falcons, and now his availability for Week 9 is in question. If he ends up unable to return to practice Thursday or Friday, he'll likely miss Sunday's game against the Giants.

49ers' Bryce Huff: Officially ruled out for Week 8
Rotowire
Huff (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Huff was expected to miss time due to a hamstring strain that he picked up during the 49ers' Week 7 win over the Falcons, so his absence for Week 8 comes as no surprise. The 49ers will be without Huff and Yetur Gross-Matos (knee/hamstring) for Sunday's road game, which means Sam Okuayinonu, Mykel Williams and Robert Beal are in line to see more snaps at defensive end. Huff will look to return to practice ahead of the 49ers' Week 9 contest against the Giants on Sunday, Nov. 2.

49ers' Bryce Huff: Set to miss time with hamstring strain
Rotowire
San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Huff is expected to miss a couple weeks due to a hamstring strain, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Huff presumably sustained the injury in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Falcons, though the team didn't provide any indication during the contest that he had been hurt. With Nick Bosa (knee) done for the season, Huff has been San Francisco's most active edge rusher in recent weeks, as he's produced 19 tackles (11 solo) to go with a team-high four sacks and a pair of forced fumbles. The injury to Huff could influence the 49ers' plans to add pass-rushing help to the roster ahead of the Nov. 4 trade deadline.

49ers' Bryce Huff: Deal to SF finalized
Rotowire
Huff was traded from the Eagles to the 49ers on Monday in exchange for a conditional fifth-round pick in 2026, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
This deal has been in the works for several days, but it could not be finalized until the new league year, which began June 1. Huff has seen the field primarily as a rotational pass rusher with both the Jets and Eagles, and he should fill a similar role with the 49ers while pairing with Dee Winters and Nick Martin. A return to his career-best mark of 10.0 sacks looks unlikely, but he should have more expanded opportunity than in 2024 as a member of the Eagles.

Eagles' Bryce Huff: Trade to 49ers being finalized
Rotowire
Philadelphia is working to finalize a trade that will send Huff to San Francisco in exchange for a mid-round future draft pick, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Huff has already agreed to rework his contract to help facilitate a deal, leaving the Eagles to take on $9.05 million and the 49ers to pay $7.95 million this season, per Schefter, though an official trade can't be finalized until after June 1. Across 12 regular-season games with Philadelphia in 2024, Huff made just 13 tackles (five solo), including 2.5 sacks, plus one forced fumble. Despite being the team's highest-paid signing of last offseason's free agency cycle via a three-year, $51.1 million contract, Huff was a healthy scratch for the team's win over Kansas City in Super Bowl LIX. The best season of Huff's career by a notable margin, his 10.0-sack 2023 campaign, came under San Francisco defensive coordinator Robert Saleh when he was head coach of the Jets, so his trade destination represents an ideal opportunity to bounce back.

Huff joined the Eagles ahead of the 2024 season, signing a three-year, $51.1 million deal with the team.

This will be Huff's first game since Week 11 versus Washington. The veteran pass rusher had been on IR since Nov. 22 due to wrist surgery before he was activated Saturday.

Eagles' Bryce Huff: Set for surgery
Rotowire
Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said that Huff will undergo surgery on his left wrist Thursday and will miss multiple weeks, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Huff has been playing with a cast on for the last two games, but he'll ultimately get surgery to opt for a more permanent fix for the injury. According to Olivia Reiner of The Philadelphia Inquirer, it's not clear how long Huff will need to stay sidelined, but the expectation is that he'll have an opportunity to return toward the end of the season. Sirianni also said a decision hasn't been made whether Huff will go on injured reserve, which would require him to miss at least four games.

Eagles' Bryce Huff: Logs full practice Thursday
Rotowire
Huff (wrist) was listed as a full practice participant Thursday.
Huff was diagnosed with a wrist injury following the Eagles' 28-23 win over the Jaguars this past Sunday. However, the issue doesn't appear to be severe since he was able to practice Thursday without limitations, and he should be able to suit up against Dallas on Sunday. In the seven games prior to his injury, Huff logged eight tackles (three solo), including 1.5 sacks.

Eagles' Bryce Huff: Dealing with hand injury
Rotowire
Huff has a hand injury that limited his snaps during Sunday's 28-23 win over the Jaguars, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
The linebacker needed treatment before the game, per Zangaro. Huff, who signed a three-year, $51.1-million deal in the offseason, only played more than 50 percent of the defensive snaps in two of Philadelphia's first seven games even before his injury. The former Jet has just eight tackles (three solo), including 1.5 sacks, on the year.

Eagles' Bryce Huff: Maintaining limited role
Rotowire
Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said Huff's role with the Eagles will continue to be the same Sunday against the Buccaneers, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Huff was considered a marque signing for the Eagles, inking a three-year, $51.1 million contract in March, coming off a career-best 10-sack season with the Jets in 2023. With that, an increased workload was expected, however, the Memphis product has continued to play a part-time role, which has seen him record just one assisted tackle through three games. What is not clear is whether this was always the plan or if Huff has failed to earn that extra time on the field. The 26-year-old averaged only 27 snaps per game on defense last season and is currently averaging about 25, so the difference in playing time is hardly significant. Huff's performance and workload over the coming weeks, starting in Week 4 against Tampa Bay, may answer that question.
