The San Francisco 49ers have released defensive lineman Ogbo Okoronkwo prior to their Week 5 game against the Seattle Seahawks. Okoronkwo joined the team in August on a one-year contract and has played for several NFL teams. His departure comes as the 49ers deal with injuries on the defensive line and prepare for a key divisional contest. This roster move may allow for the return of Mykel Williams from the physically unable to perform list, as he recovers from a knee injury sustained in November 2025.
