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

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

Gross-Matos was nearly invisible in the box score outside of that eruption versus Chicago.
Gross-Matos (knee) recorded four tackles (all solo) and three sacks in Sunday's 38-13 blowout win over the Bears. 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.
Gross-Matos (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Lindsey Peters of the 49ers' official site reports. Gross-Matos was a full practice participant all week and was activated from injured reserve Saturday. He'll boost the 49ers' depth at defensive end behind starters Leonard Floyd and Nick Bosa.
The 49ers activated Gross-Matos (knee) from injured reserve Saturday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. Gross-Matos has missed the Niners' past five games but has a chance to play Sunday against the Seahawks. In three appearances before his injury, Gross-Matos recorded one solo tackle and one QB hit across 81 defensive snaps.
Gross-Matos (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports. 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.
Gross-Matos (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. 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.
Gross-Matos (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay. 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.
The 49ers designated Gross-Matos (knee) to return from injured reserve Wednesday. 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.
Gross-Matos underwent knee surgery Friday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. 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.
