Another, James Thompson (high ankle), is an IR candidate. Mykel Williams (knee) must remain on PUP thru Week 4. · Quoting Matt Barrows: The 49ers today put DT CJ West (injury unknown) on IR. They signed DT Naquan Jones to a one-year deal and added WR Brandin Cooks and DL Viliami Fehoko Jr. to the practice squad. They cut NCB Jakob Robinson from the practice squad.

- The Seahawks' O-line ranks down at #26 in pass-block win rate, #24 in run-block win rate. Point of interest: RG, where Seattle is running a time share between backups Christian Haynes and Beau Stephens (starter Anthony Bradford is on IR). Keion White has lined up everywhere for the 49ers — but has been particularly disruptive out of a 3-tech working vs LG (Grey Zabel). Might Mykel Williams supplement White and Osa Odighizuwa with shifts inside to work against Haynes and Stephens at that RG spot? 49ers took notable strides at DE vs Denver. They collectively rushed the passer better than I'd ever seen in a Bosa-less game. Mykel's return puts a bigger spotlight on run defense — and Seattle's ground game has struggled — but pass rushing against the interior, where the Seahawks have questions, will be huge element to determine Sunday's outcome. Because interior pressure leads to takeaways
- New NFL rule allows for returns from PUP to start practicing this coming week — Week 3. Means that Mykel Williams and Isaac Guerendo can be back out at practice Wednesday if ready for the 49ers. Week 5 (at Seattle) would be their first game eligibility

Mykel Williams worked hard on improving explosiveness even as he rehabbed a torn ACL this offseason. He’s made a special jump thanks to that hard work — and the added burst was evident tonight, especially on his sack.
Williams played his rookie year at 270 and is now in the 260s

West (bone chip in knee) Mykel Williams also is still on PUP from his ACL last season.
- Mykel Williams: Out
- This really is the biggest short-term key for the 49ers. Mykel Williams setting the edge allows for Keion White to play on the inside even more, which has become a bigger need given DT injuries.
