Meanwhile, rookie Gracen Halton was placed on IR after dislocating his ankle during a victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. Other injured linemen include Nick Bosa, Mykel Williams, Alfred Collins, Sam Okuayinonu, CJ West, Mikail Kamara, and Andrew Farmer II, while the receiving corps has seen losses including Mike Evans, De'Zhaun Stribling, Ricky Pearsall, and Christian Kirk.
