The San Francisco 49ers may have won their Week 9 matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders, but they lost rookie defensive lineman Gracen Halton to a serious injury.
After the game, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan revealed that Halton's injury would end his season. On Saturday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Halton had surgery on his broken leg and dislocated ankle. Schefter also reported that Halton's expected to be ready to go for OTAs.
San Francisco took Halton in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft (No. 107 overall) out of Oklahoma, where he earned All-SEC honors once. In eight games this season, he made a name for himself, playing 44% of the team's defensive snaps and recording 15 tackles, two sacks, one forced fumble, one pass defensed and a fumble recovery
in the end zone.
