YETUR GROSS-MATOS NEWS

Records 4.0 sacks in 2024 Gross-Matos finished the 2024 season with 19 tackles (14 solo), including 4.0 sacks, across 11 games.

Impact Gross-Matos signed a two-year, $18 million deal with the 49ers last March but suffered a knee injury in the preseason and ended up missing six of the first nine games with knee issues. Gross-Matos served a rotational role off the edge for San Francisco and logged three of his four sacks in a Week 14 drubbing of the Bears. Gross-Matos is slated to collect a sizable $7.39 million salary in 2025, which could be prohibitive to a Niners team that may look to revamp the roster after missing the playoffs. Gross-Matos was nearly invisible in the box score outside of that eruption versus Chicago.

Standout three-sack performance Gross-Matos (knee) recorded four tackles (all solo) and three sacks in Sunday's 38-13 blowout win over the Bears.

Impact 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 four sacks in four games since being activated from injured reserve in Week 11 against Seattle. Gross-Matos will continue to get extra run for as long as star DE Nick Bosa (oblique) remains sidelined.

NOVEMBER 16, 2024 • 49ERS.COM

Questionable for Week 11 Gross-Matos (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.

Impact While Gross-Matos has been tagged as questionable, he is trending towards being activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game after logging full practices all week. If he's able to play Sunday, he'll serve in a rotational role at defensive end behind starters Nick Bosa (hip) and Leonard Flloyd.

NOVEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Logs full practice Wednesday Gross-Matos (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Wednesday was Gross-Matos' first full practice since his 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve opened Nov. 6. If he's able to practice without limitations over the next two days, he could be activated off IR ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

NOVEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Week 10 Gross-Matos (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.

Impact Gross-Matos has missed the 49ers' last four games while on injured reserve due to a knee injury he picked up in Week 4 against the Patriots. His 21-day practice window to return from IR opened Wednesday, but he won't play Sunday after logging limited practices all week. Gross-Matos will have to log consecutive full practices before being activated off IR, and his next chance at suiting up will be Week 11 against the Seahawks on Sunday, Nov. 17.

NOVEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Designated to return The 49ers designated Gross-Matos (knee) to return from injured reserve Wednesday.

Impact Gross-Matos has missed the 49ers' last four games after likely sustaining a knee injury in the team's Week 4 win over the Patriots. However, the opening his 21-day practice window Wednesday suggests that the 26-year-old is almost past the issue. Gross-Matos must still be activated to the 49ers' active roster to have a chance at suiting up in Week 10, when the team travels to Tampa Bay.

Has successful surgery Gross-Matos underwent knee surgery Friday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Gross-Matos was placed on IR on Saturday, so he actually had the surgery before that, although it was not reported at the time. The Penn State product suffered the injury in Week 4 and is expected to miss 4-to-8 weeks, with his earliest availability being Week 10 against the Buccaneers.

OCTOBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on IR with knee injury The 49ers placed Gross-Matos (knee) on injured reserve Saturday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Gross-Matos was unable to practice all week after injuring his knee in Week 4 against New England. The injury appears severe enough to warrant a multi-week absence for the 2020 second-round pick. Gross-Matos will be forced to sit out for at least four regular-season games, and the earliest he can return is Week 10 against Tampa Bay. Robert Beal will serve as the 49ers' main rotational edge rusher behind starters Nick Bosa and Leonard Floyd.

OCTOBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Missing Week 5 Gross-Matos (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals, David Lombardi of The San Francisco Standard reports.

Impact Gross-Matos played 40 total snaps (35 defensive and five on special teams) and recorded one tackle in Week 4's win over the Patriots, but it appears he sustained a knee injury in the process. The first-year 49er won't suit up in Week 5 after logging DNPs both Wednesday and Thursday, so expect Robert Beal to see additional work as San Francisco's top rotational edge rusher.

OCTOBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to full practice Friday Gross-Matos (knee) practiced in full Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's Week 2 matchup with the Vikings.

Impact Gross-Matos didn't play against the Jets in Week 1 due to a knee injury that took place during San Francisco's preseason finale. He began this week as a non-participant in practice before advancing to a limited session Thursday and participating in full Friday. As such, Gross-Matos appears set to make his 2024 regular-season debut in Minnesota on Sunday.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Upgrades to limited Thursday Gross-Matos (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Gross-Matos missed San Francisco's Week 1 win over the Jets, and he opened this week as a DNP on Wednesday. He was at least able to practice in some capacity Thursday, and his participation in Friday's session will provide a better sense on whether he will play in Week 2 against the Vikings.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Opens week as DNP Gross-Matos (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Gross-Matos continues to work through a knee injury sustained Aug. 23 in the 49ers' preseason finale. He has yet to participate in practice since the injury and he was sidelined for the 49ers' Week 1 victory over the Jets on Monday. Gross-Matos will have two more chances to practice Thursday and Friday ahead of Week 2 against Minnesota.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Monday Gross-Matos (knee) has been ruled out for Week 1 against the Jets, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Gross-Matos logged back-to-back DNP's to start the week, and his next chance at suiting up will be Week 2 against the Vikings on Sept. 15. With Gross-Matos sidelined, Robert Beal will be called upon to provide additional depth at defensive end Monday behind starters Nick Bosa and Leonard Floyd.

SEPTEMBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice Thursday Gross-Matos (knee) did not practice Thursday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gross-Matos injured his knee in the Aug. 23 preseason finale. Fellow veteran Leonard Floyd has been dealing with a knee issue of his own, and Drake Jackson (knee) was placed on reserve/PUP to open the year. The Niners' edge rushing depth will be tested if one of Floyd or Gross-Matos can't play Monday night against the Jets.
