Niners Defense in Crisis | San Francisco 49ers News

The Niners’ pass rush is in serious trouble as key starter Sam Okuayinonu sits out with a foot injury and won’t even travel to Australia. With Nick Bosa still far from game shape, the team’s edge rush depth is dangerously thin — forcing them to promote Ogbo Okoronkwo from the practice squad and possibly scramble for another option if Romello Height remains sidelined. Keion White may get more snaps on the edge, while defensive tackles could be thrust into passing-down roles. This reshuffling tests Raheem Morris’ creativity and exposes how deep the Niners’ defense really is — expect some unexpected names to see significant action.
