In preparation for potentially missing Armstead, the 49ers announced that they have promoted defensive lineman T.Y. McGill from the practice squad to the active roster. They could not temporarily elevate him from the practice squad because the team had already done so three times, the maximum for one season.
San Francisco waived defensive lineman Kemoko Turay to open the roster spot necessary for promoting McGill. Turay has been inactive for five games this season, including the past three.
The 49ers Communications staff provided the following rundown.
McGill (6-0, 295) has appeared in three games and registered two tackles after being elevated to the active roster from the team's practice squad.
Turay (6-5, 253) originally signed with the team on September 14, 2022. He appeared in three games and recorded one tackle.
