San Francisco 49ers Update: Injury News, Transfers, and Contracts
As the NFL preseason continues, the San Francisco 49ers have been making some significant moves. Here's a roundup of the latest news from the team.
Ameer Abdullah's Departure
Ameer Abdullah, who was placed on the season-ending injured reserve due to a rib issue, has been released from the team with an injury settlement on August 19, 2025 [2][4]. This move makes Abdullah free to sign with other teams.
Jordan Watkins and Brandon Aiyuk's Health
Brandon Aiyuk and Jordan Watkins, two key players for the 49ers, currently show no signs of injury or notable status changes, according to the available sources [3].
New Additions
The 49ers have signed running back Jeff Wilson Jr. and defensive lineman Trevis Gipson to one-year contracts. Wilson, a fifth-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, spent the past two years in Miami, amassing 637 rushing yards and three scores [5]. Gipson, who has played in 53 career games (19 starts) for the Chicago Bears, Tennessee Titans, and Seattle Seahawks, had his best season in 2021 with the Bears, starting nine games and recording career highs in sacks, tackles, forced fumbles, and fumble recoveries [1].
Andre Dillard's Return
Offensive lineman Andre Dillard, a first-round pick in 2019, went on the active/PUP list on July 18 due to an undisclosed injury. However, on August 19, the 49ers activated Dillard from the list [6].
Player Transfers
Jeff Wilson Jr. was traded to Miami midway through the 2022 season, while Tanner Mordecai, who spent last season on the 49ers' practice squad, has been cut [7].
Injury Updates
Former starting receiver Brandon Aiyuk is estimated to return around Week 6 of the regular season from a serious right knee injury he sustained in Week 7 of last season. He has been on injured reserve since then [8].
Ameer Abdullah, who played in 16 games (three starts) for the Las Vegas Raiders last season, had 66 rushes for 311 yards and two touchdowns, and 40 receptions for 261 yards and three scores before joining the 49ers [9]. Abdullah has played in 141 regular-season games (26 starts) for the Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings, Carolina Panthers, and Raiders.
