The San Francisco 49ers were a bit quiet with their roster news for Saturday. They made no practice squad elevations ahead of their game against the Dallas Cowboys.

That means Cornerback Nate Hobbs and Defensive lineman C.J. West have been downgraded to out. So it’s another week on injured reserve for the two of them.

Hobbs staying on IR could be good for cornerbacks Renardo Green, Upton Stout, and Deommodore Lenoir’s status. Against the Las Vegas Raiders, both Green and Lenoir got banged up, while Stout has been dealing with a shoulder issue. It seems all three are set to go for Sunday.

Without CJ West, that means the 49ers’ interior defensive line will consist of Deforest Buckner, Osa Odighizuwa, Sebastian Valdez, and James Thompson Jr. The loss of Gracen Halton leaves a hole on that line that West can fill, once he’s healthy to go, of course.

In other 49ers injury news, Gracen Halton, whose season ended last week against the Raiders due to a broken leg/dislocated ankle, has undergone surgery. Per Adam Schefter, he’s expected back for OTAs in 2027.
