San Francisco 49ers seek depth at defensive end amid injuries

The San Francisco 49ers face a thin roster at defensive end entering Week 1 following a series of injury setbacks. Sam Okuayinonu has been moved to injured reserve, joining Mykel Williams on the reserve list, while Nick Bosa continues recovery from an ACL repair. Third-round pick Romello Height has also dealt with intermittent injury issues during the preseason. With limited proven depth, analysts suggest the organization may pursue veteran free agents such as Leonard Floyd or Joey Bosa to stabilize the position. Alternatively, the team could target an acquisition ahead of the November 10 trade deadline. San Francisco currently relies on Keion White to help anchor the pass rush while managing the health of the remaining group.
