White was shot in the ankle early Monday morning and is expected to be OK after undergoing surgery, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. Per Barrows, the shooting happened during an altercation that White is not believed to have been part of. The defensive end joined the 49ers via a trade with New England in late October and took on a significant rotational role both during the regular season and in the playoffs. White will be in the final year of his rookie contract in 2026, and while it sounds like Monday's events aren't expected to be career-threatening, it remains to be seen if the surgery he underwent will impact his availability for San Francisco's OTAs.

Keion White: Breaking News
Will play versus the Eagles
White (groin/hamstring) is active for Sunday's wild-card game versus Philadelphia. White has dealt with groin and hamstring injuries during practice this week, but he increased his activity to participate in a limited fashion Friday. The 26-year-old has seen heavy playing time as a rotational pass rusher in 2025, tallying 12 tackles and 5.0 sacks across nine regular-season games with the 49ers.
Questionable for Sunday
White (groin/hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's wild-card matchup with the Eagles, Noah Furtado of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. White was able to upgrade to a limited participant in Friday's practice after missing consecutive sessions due to groin and hamstring issues. If the defensive end is unable to suit up for Sunday's elimination game, Robert Beal will likely see an increase in rotational defensive snaps as well as special-teams snaps.
