Yetur Gross-Matos - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Green light to play Saturday Gross-Matos (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Saturday's NFC divisional-round clash against Seattle.

Impact Despite not practicing Thursday, Gross-Matos has progressed enough in his recovery from a knee injury to play in Saturday's playoff bout. He logged eight tackles (three solo) and one pass defense across eight regular-season games in 2025 while serving in a rotational role on the 49ers' defensive line.

Limited in Tuesday's walkthrough Gross-Matos (knee) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact It's unclear whether Gross Matos' current knee issue is an aggravation of the same issue he was dealing with during the tail end of the regular season. His ability to log a limited practice is a sign that the injury isn't considered a long-term concern, and he'll have two more opportunities to log a full session ahead of Saturday's NFC divisional-round clash against the Seahawks.

Good to go for Week 18 Gross-Matos (knee) will not carry an injury designation into Saturday's contest against the Seahawks.

Impact Gross-Matos will be good to go for Week 18 even though he was unable to practice Thursday due to the knee injury that's been bothering him for the last week or so. The defensive lineman will likely operate in his regular reserve role behind Sam Okuayinonu and Bryce Huff versus Seattle.

Impact Gross-Matos was able to play through a knee issue during the 49ers' win over the Bears on Sunday, when he logged one tackle while playing 24 of 66 defensive snaps (36.4 percent). He is now working through a hamstring injury, though it's unclear whether it's the same issue that caused his return from injured reserve to be delayed until late December. Gross-Matos has two more opportunities to increase his practice participation ahead of the 49ers' NFC West tilt against the Seahawks on Saturday.

Gross-Matos should be all set to suit up as a rotational defensive end behind starters Bryce Huff and Sam Okuayinonu.

However, the sixth-year defensive end is now working through a knee injury, and he would need to practice in full by Friday in order to avoid an injury tag against the Bears on Sunday.
