49ers' Yetur Gross-Matos: Avoids serious injury
Gross-Matos is considered week-to-week after injuring his knee in Friday's preseason game against Las Vegas, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Gross-Matos did not return to Friday's game after injuring his knee in the first quarter. Head coach Kyle Shanahan relayed Sunday that the injury isn't severe enough for Gross-Matos to start the regular season on injured reserve, per David Lombardi of The Athletic. However, given the week-to-week designation, Gross-Matos' status for Week 1 against the Jets is up in the air.

49ers' Yetur Gross-Matos: Won't return to exhibition finale
Gross-Matos (knee) has been ruled out from returning to Friday's preseason contest against the Raiders, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Gross-Matos suffered a knee injury in the first quarter and was evaluated in the medical tent. Though he has been deemed out for the remainder of the exhibition game, he looked fine on the sideline, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic, so he may have avoided a serious injury. Fellow defensive end Leonard Floyd also hurt his knee in the contest and was similarly moving around OK later in the game despite being ruled out.

49ers' Yetur Gross-Matos: Hurts knee in preseason finale
Gross-Matos suffered a knee injury in Friday's exhibition contest against Las Vegas, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
The injury occurred in the first quarter when Gross-Matos' ankle got stuck as teammate De'Vondre Campbell tackled a ballcarrier. One play later, fellow defensive end Leonard Floyd suffered a knee injury of his own and also had to leave the game. Both players have been deemed questionable to return, though considering the exhibition nature of the contest, it wouldn't be surprising if neither plays another down Friday.

49ers' Yetur Gross-Matos: Signs with San Francisco
The 49ers signed Gross-Matos to a two-year, $18 million contract Thursday.
Gross-Matos was the 38th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft by the Panthers but never developed into a top-end pass rusher off the edge in Carolina. He registered just 13 sacks across four seasons, including a career-best 4.5 in 2023. Perhaps new Niners DC Nick Sorensen can get more out of the 26-year-old.

Panthers' Yetur Gross-Matos: Questionable with knee injury
Gross-Matos (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Falcons.
Gross-Matos popped up on Carolina's injury report Friday after practicing in full Wednesday and Thursday, so he presumably picked up the knee issue at practice during the week. If he can't play in Week 15, one of Amare Barno (illness) or Marquis Haynes would likely start in Gross-Matos' place.
