49ers activate a DL, place two others on IR

The San Francisco 49ers made a number of roster moves ahead of their Week 11 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.

Defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos was activated off Injured Reserve, marking the first time he will suit up in a game since suffering a knee injury back in Week 4 against the New England Patriots. Gross-Matos had suffered a knee issue back in the final game of the preseason, ultimately making his season debut in Week 2 against the Minnesota Vikings.

A free agent addition in the offseason, Gross-Matos’s return will provide a big boost for the 49ers depth, as they currently have just three defensive ends in their rotation: Nick Bosa, Leonard Floyd, and Robert Beal Jr, while interior defensive lineman Sam Okuayinonu has moved to the edge at times.
