As far as the 49ers are concerned, all of these guys are edges. If they sign Okwara and DT Larry Ogunjobi, who visited last week, they can start four players whose last name starts with O: DE Okwara DT Odighizuwa DT Ogunjobi DE Okoronkwo The O-line.

Why sign newcomer Viliami Fehoko to the active roster over others? It may be because he's got outside-inside versatility. The 49ers are light on both DEs and DTs for the foreseeable future. Fehoko, who played at San Jose State, can line up at both.
The 49ers promoted DL Viliami Fehoko from the practice squad and put WR Demarcus Robinson on IR. They also elevated the following practice squad players for tomorrow’s game vs. the Cardinals: * DT Kevin Givens * DT Sebastian Valdez

WR Brandin Cooks was NOT elevated, which means Jordan Watkins likely will make his 2026 debut.

Juszczyk was actually fined twice -- once for doing the "Juice" chug after a 21-yard catch in Q3 and again after doing it following a six-yard touchdown on the same drive. He was fined $14,926 for each. He'll appeal both.
In addition to Kyle Juszczyk's well-known "chugging" fine, Upton Stout was fined $7,501 for taunting and Keion White fined $13,770 for "body weight" -- landing on top of QB Malik Willis.

New "49ers +/-" emergency episode with @mattbarrows -- Nick Bosa's new injury reshuffles the defensive line one more time (with more to come) -Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/512… -Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Players do their own warm-ups before the team-wide warm-ups begin. That's when Bosa suffered his injury. He was doing high knees when the calf injury occurred.
Kyle Shanahan said Nick Bosa strained his calf while warming up for Thursday's practice. He's expected to miss "a few weeks", Shanahan said.

Well, except for Romello Height's broken hand ... and James Thompson's high-ankle sprain ... and Alfred Collins patellar tendon tear ... and CJ West's bone chip ... and Mikail Kamara's ACL tear...
How can they not think it’s the substation at this point? Or fire our strength and conditioning staff. Every injury is a muscle tear

Bosa was listed as "did not practice" Wednesday, but he obviously did enough to suffer a multi-week calf injury. The 49ers have seen a number of their injuries -- Sam Okuayinonu, Alfred Collins -- occur in practice this year.
#49ers Pro Bowl DE Nick Bosa suffered a calf injury in practice this week and is expected to miss a few weeks, per me and @AdamSchefter. He's out this week against the #AZCardinals and TBD on whether he lands on IR.
