49ers Rookie Halton Expected to Miss Season

San Francisco 49ers rookie defensive lineman Gracen Halton broke his left ankle late in the team’s 38-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders and is expected to miss the rest of the 2026 season. Halton was injured in the fourth quarter, placed in an air cast and carted off the field as teammates and coaches left the sideline to gather around him. The injury sidelines a promising rookie who had contributed two sacks and five tackles for loss; DeForest Buckner and Osa Odighizuwa are expected to be among San Francisco’s primary defensive tackle options in his absence.
