"Game day roster adjustments for the 49ers included bringing defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos off injured reserve, with Kendricks and cornerback Eli Apple as standard practice squad elevations. Gross-Matos has been sidelined with a hamstring strain and has fought injuries during his two-year tenure with the 49ers, missing 15 of 31 games. With Sam Okuayinonu (ankle) taken off the injured list, the 49ers will have more depth on the defensive line than they have had during their four-game win streak."
"It will be the 49ers debut for Kendricks, a veteran who led the Dallas Cowboys in tackles last season but was initially slowed by a calf strain. He didn't initially sign as a free agent, waiting for an opportunity to play with a team that had playoff possibilities. He has played in 147 games with 142 starts. Kendricks can play all three linebacker positions and has made a big impression on Bethune,"
Eric Kendricks will make his 49ers debut Monday night alongside Jordan James, while Tatum Bethune has recovered and returns to the starting lineup. Curtis Robinson is inactive after starting the previous three games. Multiple players are inactive including Ricky Pearsall Jr., Kevin Givens, Isaac Guerendo, Robert Beal, Renardo Green and Chase Lucas, while Jordan Watkins is active for the third time this season. The 49ers activated Yetur Gross-Matos off injured reserve and elevated Kendricks and Eli Apple from the practice squad. Sam Okuayinonu and Jordan Elliott are back, providing added defensive-line depth.
