- Placed LB Tatum Bethune (knee) on IR (injured reserve)
- Promoted S Tashaun Gipson to the active roster
- Elevated LB Jalen Graham from the practice squad (standard elevation)
- Elevated CB Nick McCloud from the practice squad (standard elevation)
Bethune injured his knee last week against Seattle. In nine games this season, he has one fumble recovery and one tackle. The rookie out of Florida State has primarily played on special teams.
Gipson, a 13-year veteran, was a key part of San Francisco's defense in 2022 and 2023. He was elevated to the active roster the previous two weeks, making Sunday his third game in a row to be active. Gipson has 33 career interceptions, 68 passes defended, and 684 total tackles. He was a Pro Bowler in 2014 while with the Cleveland Browns.
Graham is in his second season with the 49ers. In August, the team waived Graham, who then signed to the Washington Commanders practice squad. In October, the 49ers claimed Graham from the Commanders' practice squad. San Francisco waived Graham again in early November but re-signed him to their practice squad.
McCloud is in his fourth season and started five games for the New York Giants this season. The 49ers signed him to their practice squad on November 11th after he was released by New York. In the five games he started for the Giants, McCloud defended one pass and had 14 tackles. He is primarily a special teams player for the 49ers.
Per Matt Barrows, of The Athletic, "Graham's and McCloud's elevation means no elevation for rookie QB Tanner Mordecai. Which means no emergency third QB for tomorrow's game."
The 49ers also downgraded OL Jon Feliciano from questionable to out.
