Minimal production against Caroina Winters recorded one tackle (one solo) in Monday's 20-9 win over the Panthers.

Impact 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.

Double-digit tackles vs. Arizona Winters posted 10 tackles (five solo) during the 49ers' 41-22 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

Impact 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.

Good to go Week 11 Winters (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against Arizona.

Still managing knee issue Winters (knee) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact 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.

Tagged as questionable Week 10 Winters (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact Winters logged an LP-DNP-LP practice log to draw the questionable tag for Week 10. He has played nearly every single 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.
