US Edition49ers Add White From Patriots
The 49ers addressed a league-worst pass rush by acquiring Keion White and Clelin Ferrell to strengthen their depleted edge rusher lineup amid multiple injuries.
- The 49ers traded for Keion White, former New England Patriots defensive end, and signed Clelin Ferrell to the practice squad, with both arriving at Wednesday practice.
- Before Wednesday's additions, injuries sidelined Nick Bosa, Bryce Huff, Yetur Gross-Matos and Sam Okuayinonu, leaving only rookie Mykel Williams healthy and the pass rush at 31st with 9 sacks.
- Sending a sixth-round pick secured Keion White, former 2023 second-round pick with interior pass-rush film, while Clelin Ferrell, former 49ers starter, is familiar to coaches after starting 17 games in 2023.
- Coach Kyle Shanahan said the moves will reduce Mykel Williams' workload, but team officials see Keion White as a modest upgrade and still seek an outside speed rusher.
- With the deadline at 1 pm Tuesday, the San Francisco 49ers may still pursue additional edge rushers and could include Jauan Jennings in trade talks before the Nov. 4 trade deadline.
