Bryce Huff Injury News & Updates

Huff (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Rams, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Huff missed the 49ers' last two games due to a hamstring strain, but he has been cleared to make his return against Los Angeles after logging a full practice Friday. His return is timely for the 49ers, given that fellow defensive ends Mykel Williams (knee - ACL), Yetur Gross-Matos (knee) and Nick Bosa (knee - ACL) are all on injured reserve. Huff has accumulated 19 tackles (11 solo), including 4.0 sacks, one pass defense and two forced fumbles across seven regular-season games.

Huff (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice for the second day in a row Thursday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

The pass rusher has missed the last two two games due to a hamstring strain, so even his limited participation in practice can be considered a step in the right direction. With Mykel Williams (ACL), Yetur Gross-Matos (knee), Nick Bosa (knee - ACL) and Tarron Jackson (undisclosed) all on injured reserve, the 49ers could really use Huff on Sunday against the Rams.

Huff (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Huff has missed the 49ers' last two games due to a hamstring strain, but his return to practice Wednesday is a sign that the veteran pass rusher is progressing in his recovery. He could return against the Colts on Sunday, and his availability is key given that Mykel Williams suffered a season-ending torn ACL during the 49ers' Week 9 win over the Giants, further depleting San Francisco's defensive end depth that also has Yetur Gross-Matos (knee), Nick Bosa (knee - ACL) and Tarron Jackson (undisclosed) all on injured reserve.

Huff (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Huff will miss a second consecutive game due to a hamstring strain that he sustained against the Falcons in Week 7. He hasn't been able to practice since the injury, so he'll look to return in at least a limited capacity ahead of the 49ers' Week 10 NFC West clash against the Rams on Sunday, Nov. 9. Both Huff and Yetur Gross-Matos (knee/hamstring) have been ruled out for Week 9 and Sam Okuayinonu (ankle) is listed as questionable, so the 49ers may have to lean more heavily on Mykel Williams, Robert Beal and recent acquisition Keion White for snaps at defensive end.

Huff (hamstring) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Huff sat out Sunday's game at Houston due to a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 7 versus the Falcons, and now his availability for Week 9 is in question. If he ends up unable to return to practice Thursday or Friday, he'll likely miss Sunday's game against the Giants.

Huff (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Huff was expected to miss time due to a hamstring strain that he picked up during the 49ers' Week 7 win over the Falcons, so his absence for Week 8 comes as no surprise. The 49ers will be without Huff and Yetur Gross-Matos (knee/hamstring) for Sunday's road game, which means Sam Okuayinonu, Mykel Williams and Robert Beal are in line to see more snaps at defensive end. Huff will look to return to practice ahead of the 49ers' Week 9 contest against the Giants on Sunday, Nov. 2.

Huff is expected to miss a couple weeks due to a hamstring injury, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Huff presumably picked up the injury during Sunday night's win over the Falcons, though the team didn't announce an injury during the contest. With Nick Bosa (knee) done for the season, Huff has been San Francisco's most active edge rusher in recent weeks, as he's produced 19 tackles (11 solo), including a team-high 4.0 sacks, and a pair of forced fumbles. The Niners will really be dipping into their depth at the position while Huff is sidelined.

Huff was traded from the Eagles to the 49ers in exchange for a mid-round pick in 2026, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

This deal has been in the works for several days, but it could not be finalized until the new league year, which began June 1. Huff has primarily seen the field as a rotational pass rusher with both the Jets and Eagles, and he should fill a similar role with the 49ers while pairing with Dee Winters and Nick Martin. A return to his career-best mark of 10.5 sacks looks unlikely, but he should have more expanded opportunity than in 2024 as a member of the Eagles.

Philadelphia is working to finalize a trade that will send Huff to San Francisco in exchange for a mid-round future draft pick, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Huff has already agreed to rework his contract to help facilitate a deal, leaving the Eagles to take on $9.05 million and the 49ers to pay $7.95 million this season, per Schefter, though an official trade can't be finalized until after June 1. Across 12 regular-season games with Philadelphia in 2024, Huff made just 13 tackles (five solo), including 2.5 sacks, plus one forced fumble. Despite being the team's highest-paid signing of last season's free agency cycle, having inked a three-year, $51.1 million contract, Huff was a healthy scratch for the team's win over Kansas City in Super Bowl LIX. The best season of Huff's career by a notable margin, his 10.0-sacks 2023 campaign, came under San Francisco defensive coordinator Robert Saleh, then the head coach of the Jets, so his trade destination represents an ideal opportunity to bounce back.

Huff finished the 2024 season with 13 total tackles (five solo), including 2.5 sacks, while also forcing a fumble over 12 regular-season games.

Huff joined the Eagles ahead of the 2024 season, signing a three-year, $51.1 million deal with the team. The linebacker never had more than three tackles in a game during the regular season while also missing five contests with a wrist injury. Huff will look to have a greater impact on the team in 2025.

Huff (shoulder) has returned to Sunday's Week 17 contest against the Cowboys, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Huff exited the contest in the first quarter, but he was able to return early in the fourth period with the Eagles in the midst of a rout. He had been questionable for the Week 17 matchup due to a shoulder issue.

Huff (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Olivia Reiner of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

The outside linebacker was making his return after a five-game absence due to a wrist injury. Huff got in the backfield on a tackle for a loss early in the first quarter but did not record a stat before exiting. Third-round rookie Jalyx Hunt is Philadelphia's only other rotational outside linebacker available beyond starters Josh Sweat and Nolan Smith.

Huff (wrist) is active to face Dallas on Sunday.

This will be Huff's first game since Week 11 versus Washington. The veteran pass-rusher had been on IR since Nov. 22 due to wrist surgery before he was activated Saturday. Huff broke out with 10.0 sacks over 17 regular-season games last year with the Jets but had a modest 2.5 sacks over 10 contests with Philadelphia this season prior to getting hurt.

The Eagles activated Huff (wrist) from injured reserve Saturday.

Huff had missed the Eagles' last five games while recovering from surgery on his left wrist. He was a full participant in practice all week, and he has progressed enough in his recovery to play Sunday against the Cowboys. Huff has tallied 10 tackles (five solo), including 2.5 sacks, and one forced fumble in 10 regular-season games.

Huff (wrist) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Huff will miss his fifth consecutive contest Sunday. He was designated for return from injured reserve earlier this week, but Huff will have to wait at least another week before getting back into game action.

Philadelphia designated Huff (wrist) for return to practice from its injured reserve list Wednesday.

Huff has missed the Eagles' last four games as he's recovered from a surgery on his left wrist, but it now looks like he's on track to return to action soon. Philadelphia will have 21 days to officially activate him before it would have to put him back on injured reserve for the rest of the year.

The Eagles placed Huff (wrist) on injured reserve Friday.

Huff will undergo surgery on his wrist and will miss a minimum of four games on injured reserve. Huff has played 225 defensive snaps as a rotational edge rusher, recording 10 tackles (five solo), including 2.5 sacks, four QB hits and one forced fumble.

Head coach Nick Siriani stated Huff will have surgery on his wrist Thursday, ruling him out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Huff has been playing with a cast on for the last two games, but will ultimately opt for surgery, instead of continuing to try and play through the injury. According to Olivia Reiner of The Philadelphia Inquirer, it's not clear how long Huff will need to stay sidelined, but the expectation is that he'll have an opportunity to return toward the end of the season.

Huff (wrist) was listed as a full practice participant Thursday.

Huff was diagnosed with a wrist injury following the Eagles' 28-23 win over the Jaguars this past Sunday. However, the issue doesn't appear to be severe as he was able to practice Thursday without limitations, and he should be able to suit up against Dallas on Sunday. In the seven games prior to his injury, Huff logged eight tackles (three solo), including 1.5 sacks.

Huff has a hand injury that limited his snaps during Sunday's 28-23 win over the Jaguars, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

The linebacker needed treatment before the game, per Zangaro. Huff, who signed a three-year, $51.1-million deal in the offseason, only played more than 50 percent of the defensive snaps in two of Philadelphia's first seven games even before his injury. The former Jet has just eight tackles (three solo), including 1.5 sacks, on the year.

Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said Huff's role with the Eagles will continue to be the same Sunday against the Buccaneers, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Huff was considered a marque signing for the Eagles, inking a three-year, $51.1 million contract in March, coming off a career-best 10.0 sack season with the Jets in 2023. With that, an increase in workload was expected; however, the Memphis product has continued to play a part-time role, which has seen him record just one assisted tackle through three games. What is not clear is, if this was always the plan or if Huff has failed to earn that extra time on the field. The 26-year-old averaged only 27 snaps per game on defense last season and is currently averaging about 25, so the difference in playing time is hardly significant. Huff's performance and workload over the coming weeks, starting in Week 4 against Tampa Bay may answer that question.

Huff is set to sign a three-year, $51.1 million contract with the Eagles on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Huff is coming off a 2023 campaign that saw him record a career-high 29 combined tackles and 10.0 sacks, which propelled him to sign what is expected to be the largest non-QB contract for an undrafted player in history. His presence should bolster a pass rush that finished 20th in the league last year with 43 sacks.

Huff finished the 2023 season with 10.0 sacks among his 29 tackles (19 solo). He also had one pass defensed.

Huff struggled to earn consistent playing time in his first three NFL seasons due to his deficiencies defending the run, but he was among the league leaders in pass rush win rate. The 25-year-old edge rusher saw the field more frequently in 2023 -- playing between 37 and 54 percent of snaps in each of the final 14 games -- and continued to get to the quarterback at an elite rate. Huff's pass rushing prowess is likely to earn him a substantial raise as an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Huff had two solo tackles, including one sack, in Sunday's 30-0 loss to the Dolphins.

Huff has eight sacks in his last 10 games. The standout pass rusher continues to play in a rotational role, as Huff's 56 percent snap share in Sunday's loss marked a new season high.

Huff recorded two tackles (one solo), including a sack, in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Texans.

Huff provided one of the five sacks in a dominant performance from New York's defense. He's up to seven sacks in what has been a breakout fourth NFL season, with that entire total coming over the past nine games.

Huff had 1.5 sacks among his three tackles (one solo) in Monday's 27-6 loss to the Chargers.

The standout pass rusher finished with four quarterback hits Monday while raising his season sack total to 5.0 through eight games. All of Huff's sacks have come in the last four games, as he's earned a larger role in New York's defensive end rotation with his consistent ability to get to the quarterback.

Huff recorded three tackles (two solo), including 1.5 sacks, in Sunday's 20-14 win over the Eagles.

Huff is the NFL's leader in pressure rate going back to last season, but his limitations defending the run have left him to a situational role. While he's still far from an every down player, Huff finally exceeded 40 percent of defensive snaps in the last two games with 45 percent in Week 5 and 50 percent in Sunday's win. He's made the most of those opportunities with 2.5 sacks in the two-game span, so Huff's expanded role could be here to stay after the Jets' Week 7 bye.

Huff signed his one-year tender with the Jets on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Huff had been a restricted free agent but will now return to New York for the upcoming campaign. The 25-year-old logged six tackles (four solo) and 3.5 sacks while playing on both defense and special teams last year. Now that he's back in the fold the 2020 undrafted free agent should continue to provide solid pass-rushing depth this coming season.

The Jets tendered Huff at the second-round level as a restricted free agent, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

The former undrafted free agent out of Memphis recorded 3.5 sacks on just 191 defensive snaps last season and is in line for an expanded pass-rushing role in 2023. He has 7.5 sacks on 823 career snaps.

Huff (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Ravens, Andy Vazquez of NJ.com reports.

Huff was dealing with an oblique injury early in the week, but he was cleared from the injury report Thursday. His absence from the active roster Sunday comes as a bit of a surprise, but he'll work to prove he should suit up in Week 2 in practice throughout the upcoming week.

Huff (oblique) was not listed on Wednesday's injury report, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.

Huff missed time in the preseason with an oblique injury, but he will be available for Sunday's game against the Ravens. The depth defensive end has racked up four total sacks in his last two seasons with the Jets.

Huff (oblique) didn't play in Monday's preseason contest against the Falcons, Mark Inabinett of AL.com reports.

Huff was listed as questionable heading into the contest, but he ultimately didn't suit up. Jets head coach Robert Saleh initially said the injury should only sideline Huff for a few days, so he'll likely be available for Sunday's preseason finale against the Giants.

Huff is currently dealing with an oblique injury that will leave him questionable heading into the Jets' preseason matchup Monday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Jets coach Robert Saleh said Friday that Huff is expected to miss only a few days after being sidelined in practice due to this injury, though there has been no update on his status since. Should the 24-year-old ultimately prove unable to play, defensive ends Jabari Zuniga, Micheal Clemons and Bradlee Anae should see additional snaps during Monday's exhibition against the Falcons.

Huff (ankle) operated as a backup during the Jets' minicamp practices at the beginning of June, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

Huff ended last season on injured reserve after suffering an ankle injury during Week 17. The third-year pro has garnered a reserve role in each of the two previous seasons, totaling 30 tackles and four sacks, and he'll likely garner a similar role in 2022.

Huff (ankle) has been placed on the Jets' injured reserve, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official website reports.

Huff's placement on the IR means his season is over, as the Jets have been eliminated from the postseason. He played in nine games on the year, including seven starts, and accumulated 14 tackles, one tackle for loss, two sacks and eight QB hits. The 2020 undrafted free agent will now set his sights on the offseason.

Huff is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers after suffering an ankle injury, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.

Huff hopped off the field with the injury in the second half and was seen being examined in the medical tent. The severity of the issue is unknown, though Tim Ward could see a bit more action along the defensive line in his absence.

Huff (back) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, Ethan Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.

Huff has been out since Week 7 with the issue. He'll return to a depth role on the Jets' defensive line after a seven-game absence.

The Jets have designated Huff (back) for return from IR.

Huff is recovering from a back injury sustained Week 7, and he will now have a 21-day window to be evaluated at practice. The 23-year-old could be eligible to return as early as Sunday's divisional matchup against the Dolphins, provided the Jets bring him to the active roster first.

Huff (back) was placed on IR Thursday,

Huff was already ruled out for Thursday's game against the Colts after also missing Week 8 against the Bengals. The 23-year-old will be eligible to return on Nov. 28. In the meantime Shaq Lawson and Jabari Zuniga will likely take on bigger roles.

Huff (back) will not play in the Jets' Week 9 contest against the Colts on Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Huff will miss his second consecutive game in Week 9 after he missed the Jets' Week 8 win over the Bengals. The defensive end wasn't able to practice in any capacity this week so there's no surprise with this designation. Expect Shaq Lawson to see a large role against the Colts on Thursday.

Huff (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Bengals, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.

Huff has racked up 10 tackles and two sacks through six games this season, but he will be sidelined Sunday for the first time during the 2021 campaign. The Jets continue to deal with numerous injuries to their front seven, so they may need to add some depth from the practice squad before their meeting with the Bengals.
