Questionable for Week 11
Gross-Matos (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.
Analysis: While Gross-Matos has been tagged as questionable, he is trending towards being activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game after logging full practices all week. If he's able to play Sunday, he'll serve in a rotational role at defensive end behind starters Nick Bosa (hip) and Leonard Floyd.

Logs full practice Wednesday
Gross-Matos (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Wednesday was Gross-Matos' first full practice since his 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve opened Nov. 6. If he's able to practice without limitations over the next two days, he could be activated off IR ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Won't play Week 10
Gross-Matos (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Gross-Matos has missed the 49ers' last four games while on injured reserve due to a knee injury he picked up in Week 4 against the Patriots. His 21-day practice window to return from IR opened Wednesday, but he won't play Sunday after logging limited practices all week. Gross-Matos will have to log consecutive full practices before being activated off IR, and his next chance at suiting up will be Week 11 against the Seahawks on Sunday, Nov. 17.

Designated to return
The 49ers designated Gross-Matos (knee) to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Analysis: Gross-Matos has missed the 49ers' last four games after likely sustaining a knee injury in the team's Week 4 win over the Patriots. However, the opening of his 21-day practice window Wednesday suggests that the 26-year-old is almost past the issue. Gross-Matos must still be activated to the 49ers' active roster to have a chance at suiting up in Week 10, when the team travels to Tampa Bay.

Has successful surgery
Gross-Matos underwent knee surgery Friday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Gross-Matos was placed on IR on Saturday, so he actually had the surgery before that, although it was not reported at the time. The Penn State product suffered the injury in Week 4 and is expected to miss 4-to-8 weeks, with his earliest availability being Week 10 against the Buccaneers.

Placed on IR with knee injury
The 49ers placed Gross-Matos (knee) on injured reserve Saturday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Gross-Matos was unable to practice all week after injuring his knee in Week 4 against New England. The injury appears severe enough to warrant a multi-week absence for the 2020 second-round pick. Gross-Matos will be forced to sit out for at least four regular-season games, and the earliest he can return is Week 10 against Tampa Bay. Robert Beal will serve as the 49ers' main rotational edge rusher behind starters Nick Bosa and Leonard Floyd.

Missing Week 5
Gross-Matos (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals, David Lombardi of The San Francisco Standard reports.
Analysis: Gross-Matos played 40 total snaps (35 defensive and five on special teams) and recorded one tackle in Week 4's win over the Patriots, but it appears he sustained a knee injury in the process. The first-year 49er won't suit up in Week 5 after logging DNPs both Wednesday and Thursday, so expect Robert Beal to see additional work as San Francisco's top rotational edge rusher.

Returns to full practice Friday
Gross-Matos (knee) practiced in full Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's Week 2 matchup with the Vikings.
Analysis: Gross-Matos didn't play against the Jets in Week 1 due to a knee injury that took place during San Francisco's preseason finale. He began this week as a non-participant in practice before advancing to a limited session Thursday and logging all activity Friday. As such, Gross-Matos appears set to make his 2024 regular-season debut Sunday.

Limited participant Thursday
Gross-Matos (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Analysis: Gross-Matos missed San Francisco's Week 1 win over the Jets, and he opened this week as a DNP on Wednesday. He was at least able to practice in some capacity Thursday, and his participation in Friday's session will provide a better sense on whether he will play in Week 2 against the Vikings.

Opens week as DNP
Gross-Matos (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Gross-Matos continues to work through a knee injury sustained Aug. 23 in the 49ers' preseason finale. He has yet to participate in practice since the injury and he was sidelined for the 49ers' Week 1 victory over the Jets on Monday.

Won't play Monday
Gross-Matos (knee) has been ruled out for Week 1 against the Jets, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Gross-Matos logged back-to-back DNPs to start the week, and his next chance at suiting up will be Week 2 against the Vikings on Sept. 15.

Misses practice Thursday
Gross-Matos (knee) did not practice Thursday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Gross-Matos injured his knee in the Aug. 23 preseason finale. Fellow veteran Leonard Floyd has been dealing with a knee issue of his own, and Drake Jackson (knee) was placed on reserve/PUP to open the year. The Niners' edge rushing depth will be tested if one of Floyd or Gross-Matos can't play Monday night against the Jets.

Avoids serious injury
Gross-Matos is considered week-to-week after injuring his knee in Friday's preseason game against Las Vegas, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: Gross-Matos did not return to Friday's game after injuring his knee in the first quarter. Head coach Kyle Shanahan relayed Sunday that the injury isn't severe enough for Gross-Matos to start the regular season on injured reserve, per David Lombardi of The Athletic. However, given the week-to-week designation, Gross-Matos' status for Week 1 against the Jets is up in the air.

Won't return to exhibition finale
Gross-Matos (knee) has been ruled out from returning to Friday's preseason contest against the Raiders, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Gross-Matos suffered a knee injury in the first quarter and was evaluated in the medical tent. Though he has been deemed out for the remainder of the exhibition game, he looked fine on the sideline, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic, so he may have avoided a serious injury. Fellow defensive end Leonard Floyd also hurt his knee in the contest and was similarly moving around OK later in the game despite being ruled out.

Hurts knee in preseason finale
Gross-Matos suffered a knee injury in Friday's exhibition contest against Las Vegas, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: The injury occurred in the first quarter when Gross-Matos' ankle got stuck as teammate De'Vondre Campbell tackled a ballcarrier. One play later, fellow defensive end Leonard Floyd suffered a knee injury of his own and also had to leave the game. Both players have been deemed questionable to return, though considering the exhibition nature of the contest, it wouldn't be surprising if neither plays another down Friday.

Signs with San Francisco
The 49ers signed Gross-Matos to a two-year, $18 million contract Thursday.
Analysis: Gross-Matos was the 38th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft by the Panthers but never developed into a top-end pass rusher off the edge in Carolina. He registered just 13 sacks across four seasons, including a career-best 4.5 in 2023. Perhaps new Niners DC Nick Sorensen can get more out of the 26-year-old.

Career high in sacks
Gross-Matos finished the regular season with 36 tackles (19 solo), including 4.5 sacks, in 12 games.
Analysis: Gross-Matos posted a personal best in sacks despite missing a handful of games. The 2020 second-round pick is now slated to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, making it unclear whether he'll return to the Panthers.

Adds another sack
Gross-Matos logged three total tackles (one solo), including one tackle for loss and 1.0 sacks in Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Jaguars.
Analysis: Gross-Matos was able to get after C.J. Beathard in Week 17, bringing his sack total up to 3.5 through 11 appearances this season. In the fourth-year pro's 11 appearances, he's recorded 31 total tackles, which includes six tackles for loss. Gross-Matos will look to get after Baker Mayfield in Week 18 and end the Panthers' season on a two-game sack streak.

Good to go versus Atlanta
Gross-Matos (knee) is active for Sunday's contest against the Falcons, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Analysis: Gantt was a late addition to Friday's injury report after practicing in full the previous two sessions. The fourth-year linebacker has four tackles over his last two games after missing the previous five contests with a hamstring injury.

Questionable with knee injury
Gross-Matos (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Falcons.
Analysis: Gross-Matos popped up on Carolina's injury report Friday after practicing in full Wednesday and Thursday, so he presumably picked up the knee issue at practice during the week. If he can't play in Week 15, one of Amare Barno (illness) or Marquis Haynes would likely start in Gross-Matos' place.

Suiting up Sunday
Gross-Matos (hamstring) is active ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Analysis: The 2020 second-round pick out of Penn State was activated off injured reserve Saturday, and he's now in line to appear in his first game since Week 6. Gross-Matos will start alongside Brian Burns in the Panthers' Week 13 contest, and the two will look to cause problems for Baker Mayfield.

Activated Saturday
The Panthers activated Gross-Matos (hamstring) off injured reserve Saturday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Analysis: Though Gross-Matos was activated to Carolina's active roster Saturday, he's still listed as questionable for Sunday's affair. The fourth-year linebacker had appeared in six games before suffering his hamstring injury, logging 14 total tackles, including three tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks. If Gross-Matos is able to suit up this weekend, he'll likely serve as a rotational outside linebacker.

Gets questionable tag for Sunday
Gross-Matos (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Gross-Matos participated at practice only in a limited capacity the entire week, signaling he's truly questionable for Week 13. If he can't go, it would probably mean more snaps for 2022 sixth-rounder Amare Barno.

Gross-Matos is out for Sunday's game against the Titans.
Analysis: Gross-Matos' 21-day window to be activated from injured reserve was opened Thursday, but he won't return in Week 12. The linebacker was a limited participant in practice both Thursday and Friday. He will need to be officially activated from IR in order to play in Week 13 against the Buccaneers.

Nearing return
Gross-Matos (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve Thursday.
Analysis: Gross-Matos will now have a 21-day window to practice with the team before needing to be added to the 53-man roster. He is eligible to return as soon as Sunday against Tennessee, but it may be unlikely for the Penn State product to suit up with limited time to practice. Assuming he misses, his next opportunity to play would be Week 13 against the Buccaneers.

Analysis: Gross-Matos sustained the injury in the Panthers' Week 6 loss to the Dolphins.

Moving to OLB
Gross-Matos will move to outside linebacker with Carolina transitioning to a 3-4 defense, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.
Analysis: New defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero is transitioning the Panthers from the 4-3 scheme they had been running the past three seasons. Gross-Matos previously was listed as a defensive end, but in the new system the 2020 second-round pick will need to learn to drop back into coverage more often.

Makes tackle for loss
Gross-Matos finished with three tackles (two solo) and defended a pass in Friday's 21-0 preseason win over the Bills.
Analysis: Gross-Matos' tackle tally included one stop for loss. The third-year defensive end played just over one-third of Carolina's snaps, gearing him up for a starting role heading into Week 1. In 14 games last year, including only two starts, Gross-Matos posted 28 tackles (18 solo), 3.5 sacks and one forced fumble.

Analysis: Head coach Matt Rhule wasn't able to offer a timeline for Gross-Matos' return to the field. The 24-year-old is a projected starter at defensive end heading into 2022 and will be looking to build off a 2021 campaign in which he notched 28 tackles and 3.5 sacks over 14 games.

Productive day versus Bills
Gross-Matos finished with five tackles, 2.5 sacks and a forced fumble in Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Gross-Matos, a second-round pick last year, enjoyed his most disruptive performance as a pro, hitting opposing quarterback Josh Allen three times and jarring the ball loose once. Although the Panthers weren't able to recover that fumble, with 2.5 sacks Sunday, Gross-Matos matched his entire rookie-year total. The edge defender will now strive to build on his momentum over Carolina's final three contests.

Analysis: Gross-Matos logged full practices all week, but he still held a questionable tag heading into the Week 5 contest.

Unlikely to be available for Week 4
Coach Matt Rhule said Monday that it's doubtful Gross-Matos (ankle) is able to play against Dallas this weekend, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Gross-Matos didn't practice in any capacity before Thursday's contest, and he appears set on the same trajectory this week. The 23-year-old defensive end has played primarily in a reserve role this season, so his absence shouldn't affect the Panthers' defensive rotations.

Completes rookie campaign
Gross-Matos finished the 2020 season with 24 tackles (nine solo), 2.5 sacks and one forced fumble in 12 games.
Analysis: Gross-Matos was selected in the second round of last year's draft as the Panthers aimed to revamp their defense. While the 6-foot-5, 265-pounder surely sports upside, his rookie season got off to a slow start, as he missed some time due to an ankle injury. Gross-Matos would return to start his final seven games, registering five quarterback hits over that span. He'll aim to build on that momentum in his second season.

Gross-Matos made five tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 46-23 loss to the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Gross-Matos made his first career start with Stephen Weatherly (finger) on injured reserve, and he ended up logging a 61 percent snap share and a season high in tackles. The rookie second-rounder out of Penn State was drafted 38th overall in large part due to his pass-rushing ability, but he hasn't had much success in that arena yet, posting just one sack and four quarterback pressures through six games.

Now having been designated for return, Gross-Matos has a 21-day window to resume practice before the team must either activate him to the 53-man roster or place him on season-ending IR. In four appearances between Weeks 1 and 5, the Penn State product recorded six tackles, one QB hit and one forced fumble on 78 combined defensive snaps.

Lands on injured reserve
Gross-Matos (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Friday.
Analysis: The rookie second-round pick exited last Sunday's win over the Falcons with the ankle injury and was unable to practice this week, and he'll now miss at least the next three games while on injured reserve. It's unclear if Gross-Matos is expected to be sidelined beyond the three-game minimum. Stephen Weatherly and Marquis Haynes should see increased reps for the Panthers, especially with Brian Burns in the concussion protocol.

Ankle keeps him out of practice
Gross-Matos (ankle) isn't practicing Wednesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The rookie second-rounder continues to be plagued by injuries, as he hurt his ankle last week against the Falcons after already battling an eye injury, concussion and illness this season. Gross-Matos is no stranger to missed practices and will hope to build up his practice participation as the week unfolds ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears.

Leaving with ankle injury
Gross-Matos exited Sunday's game against the Falcons with an ankle injury, Myles Simmons of the Panthers' official site reports.

Gets first sack
Gross-Matos made three solo tackles and forced a fumble on a sack in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: Gross-Matos stripped opposing quarterback Kyler Murray during the third quarter, not only making his first career sack in the process, but also setting up the Panthers for a scoring drive. Although the rookie second-rounder still only played 21 of 57 defensive snaps, his key play Sunday should inspire more confidence going forward.

Sheds injury tag
Gross-Matos (illness) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Analysis: Gross-Matos logged a DNP/DNP/LP practice slate this week while dealing with an illness, but his availability for Sunday's contest isn't in any danger. The rookie second-round pick is set to draw his usual start at defensive end.

Misses practice with illness
Gross-Matos (illness) didn't practice Wednesday, Myles Simmons of the Panthers' official site reports.
Analysis: Gross-Matos has had some tough luck with his health this season, as he has already battled an eye injury and a concussion prior to this illness. Whether he's able to raise his practice participation as the week unfolds should help determine the rookie second-rounder's status for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Good to go Sunday
Gross-Matos (concussion) has cleared the league's concussion protocol and will play in Sunday's game versus the Chargers.
Analysis: Gross-Matos fully participated in practice Thursday and Friday, and he's slated to start Sunday. The rookie second-rounder played only 16 snaps in the season opener. He should start seeing an uptick in reps moving forward as he was a skilled pass rusher at Penn State with 17 sacks and 34.5 tackles for loss over his final two seasons.

Expected to play Sunday
Gross-Matos (concussion) was a full participant during Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Even though Gross-Matos was a full participant, it still doesn't mean that he has cleared the league's concussion protocol. Per Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer, coach Matt Rhule expects Gross-Matos to play Sunday against the Chargers, but in a backup role. Look for Stephen Weatherly or Marquis Haynes to draw the start at defensive end with Gross-Matos still recovering.

Ruled out for Week 2
Gross-Matos (concussion) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Gross-Matos will need more time before he's able to fully clear the league's five step-concussion protocol and retake the field. Stephen Weatherly and Marquis Haynes will likely handle increased defensive roles Sunday with Gross-Matos sidelined.

In concussion protocol
Gross-Matos is in the concussion protocol Thursday and will not practice, Myles Simmons of the Panthers' official site reports.
Analysis: Gross-Matos took a hit in the eye during Wednesday's practice, per Simmons, and he subsequently developed concussion symptoms. In the event that he fails to clear fully clear the league's five-step concussion protocol in time to suit against the Buccaneers in Week 2, Stephen Weatherly and Marquis Haynes would be in line to handle increased roles.

Limited with eye injury
Gross-Matos (eye) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Analysis: It's encouraging that Gross-Matos was at least able to practice in some capacity, though the exact nature of his eye injury is unknown at this time. The rookie pass rusher will hope to make a bigger impact against Tampa Bay in Week 2 after recording only one tackle in his debut last week.
