The San Francisco 49ers held a workout for edge rusher Ogbo Okoronkwo on August 2, 2026, due to a series of injuries affecting their defensive line. With starters Mykel Williams on PUP and Nick Bosa recovering, only two healthy edge rushers were available for practice. Okoronkwo, a fifth-round draft pick in 2018, previously played under Raheem Morris with the Rams and has since spent time with the Texans and Browns, recording 5 sacks in 2022. The team evaluated whether he could provide depth or become a temporary addition to the roster.
