General manager John Lynch confirmed Wednesday that the 49ers plan to release Hargrave (triceps) after June 1, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. Hargrave has two years remaining on a four-year contract he signed in March 2023. Accorimding to Wagoner, San Francisco is interested in bringing Hargrave back next season, as his release would be for cap purposes. The veteran defensive tackle only appeared in three games in 2024 before suffering a torn triceps, finishing his campaign with seven tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks.
The 49ers placed Hargrave (triceps) on injured reserve Saturday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. Hargrave partially tore his triceps during the 49ers' Week 3 loss to the Rams, and head coach Kyle Shanahan relayed Monday that the injury likely keep the veteran defensive tackle out for the rest of the regular season, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. With Hargrave sidelined, Jordan Elliott is set to serve as San Francisco's starting defensive tackle alongside Maliek Collins, though Elliot is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots after injuring his foot during Thursday's practice.
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Hargrave is dealing with a partially torn triceps and will probably miss the rest of the season, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. Hargrave picked up an injury during Sunday's loss at the Rams that the team initially hoped was only minor, but further investigation revealed the issue to be quite serious. For as long as he's out, Jordan Elliott projects to see increased playing time, but Hargrave's absence could prove to be a significant blow to the quality of the 49ers' front seven as a unit.
Hargrave has a triceps injury after Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Rams, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan said it might just be a contusion, per Branch. Hargrave recorded three tackles, including a sack, during the defeat. The defensive tackle made four stops across the 49ers' first two contests.
Hargrave (thumb) was photographed practicing at the start of 49ers training camp. Hargrave appears fully recovered from the torn ligament in his left thumb that he dealt with down the stretch in 2023. The 31-year-old defensive tackle looks fully on track to reprise his starting role up front for San Francisco. In fantasy leagues that require starting DTs, Hargrave is in the mix as an IDP option, having tallied 44 tackles (25 solo), including 7.0 sacks, and two passes defensed across 16 regular-season appearances in 2023.
