49ers: official transactions and how to check the roster

As of October 16, 2026, the reliable way to follow the 49ers is to separate three things: confirmed transactions, the current roster and speculation. The club’s log records changes it has actually announced, while the NFL page provides a league-wide check. The available sources, however, do not state the 2026 trade deadline. It is therefore not possible to say here how much trading time remains.

The 49ers’ latest move

The newest entry on the 49ers’ official transactions page, dated October 15, contains three decisions: defensive lineman Ogbo Okoronkwo was promoted to the active roster, linebacker Eugene Asante signed with the practice squad, and the club opened the practice window for wide receiver Christian Kirk, who was on the Injured Reserve List.

Opening that window does not, by itself, confirm Kirk’s return to games. The entry documents only the administrative step announced by the team; it provides neither a prognosis nor a return date.

The changes recorded in October

The official log shows a sequence of adjustments. On October 10, Mykel Williams was activated from the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform List. Okoronkwo and tight end Jack Stoll also received standard practice-squad elevations. Okoronkwo had been released on October 9 and returned to the practice squad the following day, before his October 15 promotion.

On October 6, the 49ers added Viliami Fehoko Jr. and Xavier Smith to the practice squad and placed Dante Pettis on the Practice Squad Injured Reserve List. On October 3, they promoted Sebastian Valdez, activated Matthew Judon and Malik Turner through standard elevations, and waived Fehoko. On October 1, Brandin Cooks moved to the active roster, Turner joined the practice squad and KhaDarel Hodge was released.

These categories are not interchangeable: an active-roster promotion, temporary elevation, practice-squad signing, waiver and placement on a reserve list are different actions.

Confirmed trades and rumors

Trades displayed by the club in 2026 include the acquisition of offensive lineman Jarrett Patterson from the Houston Texans for a 2027 seventh-round pick; linebacker Deion Jones from the New Orleans Saints in exchange for running back Zamir White; and defensive lineman Osa Odighizuwa from the Dallas Cowboys for a 2026 third-round pick.

The NFL transactions tracker lists three league trades in October at the time reviewed: Marvin Harrison Jr., Cam Jurgens and Joey Porter Jr. None involves San Francisco. That does not prove the club will make no further trade; it only means no 49ers trade appears in that official October view.

Where to check the roster and schedule

To determine who belongs to the group at a particular moment, consult the official 49ers roster, because a standalone announcement can be superseded by later moves. Check the category and date as well: the club’s transaction log covers the active roster, practice squad and reserve lists.

The official schedule records five wins in the first five regular-season weeks. The next listed game is against the Washington Commanders on October 19 at Levi’s Stadium. Time, broadcast details and other conditions may change; verify the official page before the game.

What the rulebook explains — and what it does not

The official 2026 Rulebook governs games. Its 2026 changes include adjustments to kickoff alignment, the ball spot after certain touchbacks, declaring an onside kick and league consultation on possible disqualifications.

That document does not establish a trade-deadline date or, in the supplied material, explain the administrative rules for signings and waivers. The club and NFL transaction records are the relevant references for roster activity. The practical rule is straightforward: without an official entry, a rumor remains a rumor.
