49ers activate Gross-Matos from IR, elevate punter for Seahawks game originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
The 49ers made several roster moves ahead of their pivotal Week 11 NFC West showdown against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
Defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos was activated off the injured reserve list and is expected to play Sunday after missing the last five games with a knee injury that required surgery. It was the same knee he injured during the preseason.
Punter Mitch Wishnowsky is likely headed to the Injured Reserve with a back injury. It’s an injury that Kyle Shanahan said flared up earlier in the week. It’s an injury that “bothered him a ton” dating back to training camp, according to Kyle Shanahan, who said Wishnowsky’s injury has been acting up recently, and he’s back to the point he was in training camp.
