The San Francisco 49ers have released their final injury report ahead of their Week 1 matchup against the New York Jets, set for Monday night at Levi’s Stadium. The report highlights key absences and questionable players that could impact the game. For the 49ers, defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos and linebacker Dee Winters have been ruled out due to knee and ankle injuries, respectively.
Safety Talanoa Hufanga is listed as doubtful with an ACL issue, while running back Christian McCaffrey (calf, Achilles) and offensive lineman Aaron Banks (finger) are both questionable. Most of the 49ers’ roster has been practicing this week, with Gross-Matos and Winters being the only players to miss all sessions. Hufanga’s status remains uncertain, and if he cannot play, Ji’Ayir Brown and George Odum are expected to fill in at safety.
McCaffrey and Banks are also uncertain, with McCaffrey dealing with a calf issue and Banks recovering from a finger injury sustained during training camp. On the Jets’ side, linebacker Zaire Barnes and offensive lineman Wes Schweitzer are out for the game. The Jets are also dealing with the absence of pass-rusher Haason Reddick, who has not reported since his trade from the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this offseason.
Despite these injuries, both teams appear to be in relatively good shape as they prepare for an exciting season opener.
