The San Francisco 49ers entered the weekend with six players listed as questionable ahead of their Week 10 meeting with the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium on Sunday.
Now, on Saturday, the 49ers have downgraded cornerback Nate Hobbs and defensive lineman C.J. West to out.
Hobbs, 27, joined the 49ers this offseason after four years with the Las Vegas Raiders and one with the Green Bay Packers. While San Francisco brought him in to compete for a starting job, he's been on injured reserve all year due to a groin injury.
West, 24, played at Kent State from 2020-23 and at Indiana in 2024 before the 49ers took him in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft (No. 113 overall). As a rookie, West recorded 21 tackles and a sack in 14 games, and this year, he recorded two
tackles in the first two weeks of the season before suffering a knee injury that landed him on injured reserve.
The 49ers didn't elevate anyone from the practice squad, and according to NBC Sports' Matt Maiocco, the team is confident that cornerbacks Deommodore Lenoir, Renardo Green and Upton Stout will be good to go on Sunday.
