Summary

In need of reinforcements along their injured defensive line, the 49ers made a trade with the New England Patriots for defensive end Keion White and a 2026 seventh-round draft pick in exchange or a 2026 sixth-rounder. Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan discuss how White bolsters a 49ers defensive line whose nine sacks are tied for the second-fewest among all NFL teams this season. Matt also sits down with NBC Sports Boston's Patriots insider Phil Perry to examine White's time with the organization as a former second-round pick of the 2023 NFL Draft. Lastly, Jennifer and Matt review if the 49ers would entertain any other trades, assess rookie Mykel Williams' stock through eight games and provide 49ers injury updates before San Francisco's Week 9 game against the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium.
