Rotowire
Stout (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons.
Stout logged consecutive DNPs to begin Week 7 prep before upgrading to a limited participant in Friday's session. The last-minute practice participation has given the cornerback a chance to recover from his AC Joint issues in time for Sunday's contest, but it remains uncertain if the 24-year-old will suit up. If Stout cannot play, Ashtyn Davis will likely start at slot cornerback in his place.

Rotowire
Head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters Tuesday that Stout's removal from Monday's 23-17 win over the Commanders was due to an AC sprain in his shoulder, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

Rotowire
Stout (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Stout is day-to-day with an AC joint sprain. The cornerback practiced in a limited capacity Thursday while missing the 49ers' Wednesday and Friday sessions.

49ers' Upton Stout: Takes over as slot CB in first year
Rotowire
Stout finished with 82 tackles (43 solo), 1.0 sacks and one forced fumble across 16 regular-season games in 2025.
Stout was selected in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft and was inserted as the 49ers' starting slot corner right out of the gate. The 23-year-old suffered from the occasional blown coverage, but the overall results were positive given the prominent role he was asked to fill as a rookie. The 82 combined tackles stand out from a fantasy perspective, especially considering he only saw the field in nickel or lighter formations. Stout should only improve with experience now that he solidified himself as the team's starting slot cornerback for the 2026 season.

49ers' Upton Stout: Questionable for Saturday
Rotowire
Stout (concussion) is questionable to play against the Seahawks on Saturday.
Stout suffered a concussion against the Bears on Sunday and logged an LP/LP/FP practice progression this week. Despite Friday's full session, he's been tabbed questionable for Week 18, which may mean he has yet to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. If Stout is able to get clearance to play, including from an independent neurologist, he'll likely take on his usual role as San Francisco's starting slot cornerback for a battle with Seattle that will determine the No. 1 NFC playoff seed.
