49ers' Yetur Gross-Matos: Activated Monday
Rotowire
Gross-Matos (hamstring) was activated off the 49ers' injured reserve list Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Despite being activated off IR, Gross-Matos is still listed as questionable for Monday night's matchup against the Colts.

Rotowire
Gross-Matos (knee/hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Gross-Matos will miss a fourth consecutive game due to knee and hamstring injuries, though he was able to squeeze in a limited practice Thursday that was sandwiched between DNPs, and he'll look to progress enough in his recovery to return for Week 10 against the Rams on Sunday, Nov. 9. With Gross-Matos and Bryce Huff (hamstring) both out and Sam Okuayinonu (knee/hamstring) listed as questionable, the 49ers will turn to Robert Beal and recent acquisition Keion White to serve in larger roles at defensive end alongside starter Mykel Williams.

Rotowire
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday that Gross-Matos will miss some time with a strained hamstring, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Rotowire
Gross-Matos (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

49ers' Yetur Gross-Matos: Sidelined to begin training camp
Rotowire
Gross-Matos (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list Friday.
Gross-Matos was sidelined for long stretches of the 2024 season with a knee issue, though he did close the campaign healthy. He'll look to get back on the field early in camp, as he should be in line for a significant role as a pass rusher in 2025.
Gross-Matos (knee) recorded four tackles (all solo), including 3.0 sacks, in Sunday's 38-13 blowout win over the Bears.
Gross-Matos set a new personal best with a trio of sacks on Chicago's rookie signal-caller Caleb Williams. The 2020 second-round pick now has 4.0 sacks in four games since being activated from injured reserve in Week 11 against Seattle.
