The San Francisco 49ers announced that they have activated defensive tackle Maurice Hurst from injured reserve. This past week, the team had opened his practice window and needed to decide on his roster status within 21 days.
Hurst suffered an ankle sprain on August 22 and was placed on injured reserve on September 1. San Francisco signed him to a one-year deal on April 23.
The 49ers also opened the practice window of cornerback Davontae Harris this past week but opted not to activate the defensive back just yet.
The Raiders made Hurst a fifth-round selection out of Michigan in 2018. He registered 27 tackles, a tackle for a loss, 0.5 sacks, six quarterback hits, and a pass defensed through 11 games with Las Vegas last season, per Pro Football Reference.
Hurst, 26, has recorded 76 tackles, eight tackles for a loss, eight sacks, 17 quarterback hits, seven passes defensed, an interception, and a forced fumble through his three NFL seasons.
San Francisco will host the Seattle Seahawks tomorrow afternoon at Levi's Stadium.

Rapoport: 49ers send clear message to teams inquiring about Brandon Aiyuk
Ian Rapoport didn't offer much of an update on the ongoing contract negotiations between the San Francisco 49ers and their standout wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk. However, the NFL insider emphasized one thing: The team is not entertaining trade discussions at this juncture.
Reacting to Aiyuk's decision to unfollow the 49ers on Instagram, Rapoport couldn't help but chuckle at the latest development. This practice has become commonplace among players who are unhappy with their contract situations. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel similarly took this action in 2022 before requesting to be traded just before the draft.

7-round mock draft from The Athletic sees 49ers fortifying defense early
Analyst Dane Brugler recently revealed his seven-round mock draft for The Athletic, forecasting all 257 selections in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft, set to kick off next week.
"Piecing together a mock like this is time consuming, but I enjoy the exercise, because it allows me to focus on each team's needs, organizational trends and prospect-team pairings that make sense based on '30' visits, league buzz and overall interest," Brugler wrote.
Most expect the 49ers to address the trenches early in the draft, and Brugler has the team doing that. It's just not on the offensive side of the football. In fact, Brugler doesn't have San Francisco
