Overview
- San Francisco used standard practice-squad elevations on Trevis Gipson and Nick Zakelj for Week 8 at Houston.
- The team downgraded Spencer Burford from questionable to out for Sunday.
- With Jake Brendel unavailable, Matt Hennessy will start at center with Zakelj designated as his primary backup.
- The 49ers list Brock Purdy and Ricky Pearsall out alongside Burford and Brendel, while Deommodore Lenoir and Luke Gifford are questionable.
- Gipson’s call-up uses his remaining standard elevation under NFL limits, narrowing future activation flexibility.
