Winters (concussion) was a full participant in San Francisco's practice Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN reports. Winters suffered a concussion during the team's Week 8 win over the Cowboys but has now cleared the league's concussion protocol. The 24-year-old should be good to go for Sunday's matchup versus the Buccaneers where he can contribute on both defense and special teams.
Winters (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday night's contest with the Cowboys, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports. Winters suffered a concussion in the third quarter against Dallas, ultimately bringing his night to a premature close. The linebacker's impact is most prevalent on special teams, so his absence doesn't carry a substantial change on defense.
Winters (ankle) is active Sunday against the Patriots, Lindsey Pallares of the team's official site reports. Winters missed the first two games of the season with the injury, returning in Week 3 only to aggravate the injury and exit early. However, he's healthy enough again to suit up and will be on the field Sunday against New England.
Winters (ankle) has exited Sunday's game against the Rams, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Winters has been dealing with an ankle issue since training camp, which is the likely cause of his exit Sunday. His exit will be a blow to the 49ers' depth at linebacker while he is unable to compete.
Winters (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. The second-year pro missed each of the 49ers' first two contests due to an ankle injury, but following Wednesday's full practice, it appears he's moved past the issue. Now that Winters has returned to full health, he's expected to serve as one of San Francisco's top rotational linebackers.
Winters (ankle) is inactive Sunday against the Vikings. Winters also missed the team's Week 1 win over the Jets as he continues to work on his recovery from an ankle injury suffered in the team's preseason finale. The second-year pro will now focus his efforts to return in Week 3 against the Rams.
Winters (ankle) will not play Monday against the Jets, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. Winters sustained an ankle injury in the 49ers' preseason finale against the Saints. He was a DNP for all three practices leading up to Week 1, and he'll turn his focus to try and play in Week 2 against the Vikings on Sept. 15.
Winters will have an MRI this week to determine the severity of his ankle injury, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports. Winters appears to have picked up the injury during Friday's preseason game against the Raiders, when he recorded three tackles (two solo). Winters has been competing for a bigger role on the 49ers' defense after playing mostly on special teams in 2023.
Winters (undisclosed) will not suit up for Sunday's preseason game against the Saints, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. Winters has been dealing with an unspecified injury and will be held out of Sunday's bout.
