Seattle Seahawks vs San Francisco 49ers Team News

San Francisco 49ers Team News

The 49ers' formidable defense faces a critical test as they will be missing several elite pieces, though they get a massive reinforcement on the edge.

Nick Bosa OUT: The All-Pro defensive end will miss his third consecutive game due to a nagging calf and knee injury, leaving a major void in the 49ers' pass rush.
Mykel Williams to Debut: In a major roster boost, defensive end Mykel Williams is slated to make his 2026 season debut. He will be activated from the PUP list on Saturday after recovering from a late-2025 ACL tear. While officially listed as questionable, head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed he is ready to play.
Kyle Juszczyk OUT: The multi-week absence of their star fullback (knee) strips the offense of its premier hybrid blocking tool.
Other Key Absences: Defensive tackle James Thompson Jr. (ankle) and safety Marques Sigle (high-ankle sprain) have also been ruled out. Nickel back Upton Stout (shoulder) is questionable.
Mike Evans Good to Go: Despite battling a painful rib injury, wide receiver Mike Evans carries no game designation and will start alongside Deebo Samuel.

Seattle Seahawks Team News

Head coach Mike Macdonald received highly encouraging news regarding his defensive front, though the backfield remains heavily depleted.

Leonard Williams WILL Play: After rolling his ankle in last week's victory over the Chargers, the team's sack leader has cleared the injury report completely and is fully expected to play.
Backfield Depth Crises: Rushing leader Kenneth Walker III remains sidelined. To make matters worse, Zach Charbonnet (knee) remains on the PUP list and has been ruled out. With Jadarian Price already on IR, the running duties will fall squarely on Emmanuel Wilson and newly signed Robert Henry Jr., who was poached off the Commanders' practice squad.
Ty Okada Returns: Safety Ty Okada has no injury designation and will make his season debut after missing four weeks with a hamstring issue.
Other Deficits: Linebacker Chazz Surratt (calf) and rookie cornerback Julian Neal (hamstring) are officially out. Running back George Holani (ribs/knee) and wideout Irv Charles (knee) are questionable.
