49ers' Dee Winters: Not practicing Wednesday
Winters (ankle) did not practice in Wednesday's session, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Winters sustained an ankle injury in last Saturday's loss to the Seahawks, and the weakside linebacker's playoff status is now in jeopardy. The 25-year-old will have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation in an attempt to dodge any injury designation ahead of Sunday's playoff game against the Eagles. If Winters cannot suit up, the 49ers' linebacker corps, which typically consists of eight players, will be down to just four at most. Linebacker is the most likely position to be elevated from the practice squad for the 49ers on Saturday.

49ers' Dee Winters: Playoff status in jeopardy
Winters could miss the wild-card round of the NFC playoffs due to an ankle injury he sustained during the 49ers' 13-3 loss to the Seahawks on Saturday, Noah Furtado and Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle report.
Winters went to the locker room in the second quarter of Saturday's loss after sustaining an ankle injury and wasn't cleared to return, finishing with two tackles (one solo). Tatum Bethune (groin) also left the game in the fourth quarter, and the starting duo were replaced by Eric Kendricks and Garret Wallow. The conclusion of Sunday's slate of games will ultimately determine who the 49ers face in the wild-card round and when, but it appears Winters is in danger of missing at least the first round of the NFC playoffs. Along with Kendricks and Wallow, Curtis Robinson -- who was a healthy scratch for Week 18 -- would all be candidates to start at linebacker if one or both of Winters and Bethune were to miss the first round of the postseason.

49ers' Dee Winters: Seals win with pick-six
Winters logged three tackles (one solo) and two defensed passes, including an interception that he returned for a touchdown, in Monday's 48-27 victory versus the Colts.
Winters had a pretty quiet day from a tackling perspective, finishing with his lowest total since Week 12. However, he made perhaps the biggest defensive play of the game when he intercepted a Phillip Rivers pass with less than four minutes remaining and returned it 74 yards for a touchdown to extinguish any hope of an Indianapolis comeback. That was Winters' first interception and first touchdown in his three seasons as a pro.

49ers' Dee Winters: Minimal production against Caroina
Winters recorded one tackle (one solo) in Monday's 20-9 win over the Panthers.
Winters was on the field for all 46 of San Francisco's defensive snaps, but he had his least productive game of the season. It was an odd game script with Carolina attempting only 13 rushes, so Winters should bounce back in Week 13 against the Browns.

49ers' Dee Winters: Double-digit tackles vs. Arizona
Winters posted 10 tackles (five solo) during the 49ers' 41-22 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
Winters was given the green light to play Sunday after managing a knee injury during Week 11 prep, and he finished as the 49ers' second-leading tackler behind Curtis Robinson (12). It's the third time this year that Winters posted double-digit tackles, and the 2023 sixth-rounder is up to 77 tackles (52 solo) and three pass defenses through 11 regular-season games.

49ers' Dee Winters: Still managing knee issue
Winters (knee) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Winters has been dealing with a knee issue since getting hurt Week 8 versus Houston. He has been able to suit up in each of San Francisco's two subsequent contests despite not logging a full practice during that time, so odds are that he'll be able to play again this Sunday versus Arizona. However, it makes sense to monitor Winters' practice status Thursday and Friday to be sure he continues to participate in some capacity.

49ers' Dee Winters: Tagged as questionable Week 10
Winters (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Winters logged an LP/DNP/LP practice log to draw the questionable tag for Week 10. He has played nearly every defensive snap through the first nine games of the regular season, so his absence would open the door for Curtis Robinson and rookie third-rounder Nick Martin to see more work at linebacker.

49ers' Dee Winters: Limited in practice Thursday
Winters (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
The linebacker played through the knee injury in Week 9 and was limited in practice Thursday. Winters will have one more chance to practice ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Rams. The third-year pro has played on nearly every defensive snap this season for the 49ers.

49ers' Dee Winters: Still working through knee issue
Winters (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Winters was able to play through a knee injury against the Giants in Week 9, when he played every single defensive snap while recording five tackles (two solo). He'll have two more chances to log a full practice this week, but even if he remains limited, he's likely to be available for Sunday's game against the Colts, barring a setback.

49ers' Dee Winters: Playing Sunday
Winters (knee) is active for Sunday's contest against the Giants, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.
The starting linebacker suffered the injury in Week 8 against the Texans and logged a couple of limited practices ahead of Sunday's matchup. Now that he's suiting up, Winters can be expected to resume his normal role, as he's played on most of the defensive snaps for San Francisco this season. The third-year pro already has a career-high 54 tackles (40 solo) on the year.

49ers' Dee Winters: Questionable for Week 9
Winters (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Winters ended the week with back-to-back limited practices to earn the questionable tag for Week 9, and his status for Sunday's game may not be officially known until the 49ers announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Winters is working through a knee injury he sustained against the Texans in Week 8, and if he can't play Sunday, then rookie third-rounder Nick Martin and Curtis Robinson would be the top candidates to start alongside Tatum Bethune and Luke Gifford at linebacker.

49ers' Dee Winters: Back at practice Thursday
Winters (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Winters was labeled as day-to-day due to a knee injury he sustained against the Texans in Week 8. He's opened the week with a DNP-LP practice log, and his participation in Friday's session will determine whether he enters Sunday's game against the Giants with an injury designation. Winters tallied 11 tackles against Houston in Week 8, which was as many as he accumulated from Weeks 5 through 7.

49ers' Dee Winters: Doesn't practice Wednesday
Winters (knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Winters was forced out of Sunday's game at Houston in the third quarter after injuring his knee, and now his status for Week 9 is in doubt. He'll probably have to get back to practice Thursday or Friday to have any chance to play Sunday against the Giants.
