Forces fumble in win
Stout tallied seven tackles (two solo) and forced a fumble in San Francisco's win versus the Cardinals on Sunday.

Makes four stops in Week 10 loss
Stout secured four tackles (one solo) against the Rams in Sunday's loss.
ANALYSIS
Stout logged just a 42 percent defensive snap share, his lowest of the campaign. The rookie has had an up-and-down season, but he's shown plenty of promise, so it will be interesting to see if his snap share ticks back up in Week 11 against Arizona.

Cleared for Week 9
Stout (shoulder) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Stout popped up on the injury report with a shoulder injury to begin the week after dealing with an ankle issue earlier in the season. He should be ready to take on his typical role as the 49ers' primary slot corner against the Giants on Sunday.
Oct 29, 2025
Dealing with shoulder issue
Stout (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Stout played 48 defensive snaps in Week 8 at Houston, and it's not clear when he suffered the shoulder injury. Regardless, he'll likely need to get back to practicing in full Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.
Oct 23, 2025
Full participant Thursday
Stout (ankle) was a full practice participant Thursday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie third-rounder was unable to play against the Falcons in Week 7 due to an ankle injury. He upgraded from a limited practice participant Wednesday to a full one Thursday, which puts him on track to return for Week 8 against the Texans on Sunday. Stout's return will mean less snaps in the secondary for Chase Lucas and Darrell Luter.

Still nursing ankle issue
Stout (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Stout spent Week 7 on the sideline after injuring his ankle at practice during the week, and now his availability for Week 8 is in question too. He'll likely need to upgrade to full participation at practice Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.
Oct 19, 2025
Inactive for SNF
Stout (ankle) is inactive for Sunday night's clash with the Falcons.
ANALYSIS
The rookie slot corner injured his ankle during Thursday's practice and was listed as questionable going into Sunday. Stout has played on at least 48 percent of the defensive snaps in each of San Francisco's six games. In his absence, Jason Pinnock, Malik Mustapha and Chase Lucas could see more playing time.
Oct 17, 2025
Picks up ankle injury Thursday
Stout (shoulder) injured his ankle during Thursday's practice and is questionable to play against the Falcons on Sunday, Noah Furtado of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday that Stout injured his ankle during the final play of Thursday's practice. The injury puts the rookie third-rounder in jeopardy of missing Sunday's home game, and his status may not be officially announced until approximately 90 minutes prior to the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Jason Pinnock and Malik Mustapha could be deployed in nickel packages if Stout is not cleared to play.
Oct 12, 2025
Cleared to play Week 6
Stout (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Stout was limited in practice all week due to an ankle injury that he picked up during the 49ers' Week 5 win over the Rams, but the rookie third-rounder has been given the green light to play in Sunday's road tilt. Stout has 20 tackles (10 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and two pass defenses through the first five regular-season games of his NFL career.
Oct 8, 2025
Manages partial practice
Stout (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Stout suffered a sprained ankle in Thursday's win over the Rams and was considered day-to-day at the time. His ability to practice at all was a positive sign, but his status for San Francisco's Week 6 game against Tampa Bay remains unclear.
Oct 3, 2025
Nursing ankle injury
Head coach Kyle Shanahan relayed Friday that Stout is considered day-to-day due to an ankle sprain that he suffered during the 49ers' 23-20 overtime win over the Rams on Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Stout played 38 of 68 defensive snaps (55.9 percent) and finished with eight tackles (two solo) during Thursday's win, but he's come out of that contest a little worse for wear. Shanahan noted that Stout is not dealing with a high ankle sprain, so the rookie third-rounder isn't in immediate danger of missing the 49ers' Week 6 clash against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Oct. 12. Stout has logged 20 tackles (10 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and two pass defenses through the first five regular-season games of his NFL career.

Recovered from calf injury
Stout (calf) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
ANALYSIS
A calf injury prevented Stout from playing in any of San Francisco's preseason games. However, his full participation in Wednesday's practice indicates that the rookie-third rounder has recovered from the injury and is on track to play in Sunday's regular-season opener against Seattle. Stout should see a significant amount of playing time in the secondary with the 49ers' first-team defense alongside Deommodore Lenoir, Renardo Green, Ji'Ayir Brown and Jason Pinnock.
Aug 27, 2025
Returns to practice
Stout (calf) returned to practice Wednesday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Stout was a standout player during offseason practice and training camp before being sidelined by a calf issue. He's expected back for Week 1, and his participation in practice supports that report.
Aug 19, 2025
Expected back by Week 1
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday that the 49ers aren't worried about Stout's (calf) availability for Week 1 against the Seahawks on Sept. 7, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Stout has missed both preseason games but did work out on the side of Monday's practice. It's unclear if Stout will be able to play in the preseason finale, but it does sound like he's nearing a return to team drills. Stout was a third-round pick out of Western Kentucky back in April.
Aug 16, 2025
Not playing Saturday
Stout (calf) will not play in Saturday's preseason game against the Raiders on Saturday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
ANALYSIS
Stout is working through a calf injury, which will cause him to miss the 49ers' first two games of the preseason. The rookie third-rounder is battling for a consistent role in the 49ers' secondary, and he'll aim towards being available for the Niners' preseason finale against the Chargers on Saturday, Aug. 23. Darrell Luter and Dallis Flowers should see an uptick in snaps at corner due to injuries to Stout and Renardo Green (hamstring).
Aug 11, 2025
Still dealing with calf issue
Stout (calf) did not participate at Monday's training camp practice, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Stout was held out of San Francisco's preseason opener Saturday due to calf tightness, and that's apparently still bothering him ahead of a scheduled joint practice with the Raiders on Thursday. Until he's able to get back onto the field, Tre Brown could be in line to see more reps in the slot at cornerback.
Aug 9, 2025
Dealing with calf tightness
San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Stout (calf) did not suit up for Saturday's 30-9 preseason loss to the Broncos due to calf tightness, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Stout, a rookie third-round pick, has logged an impressive start to training camp and even begun pushing for a potential starting role, per Noah Furtado of the San Francisco Chronicle, so it's disappointing his preseason debut was delayed. The next chance for Stout to log preseason reps will come Saturday, Aug. 16 against the Raiders.
Apr 25, 2025
Bay Area bound
The 49ers selected Stout in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 100th overall.
ANALYSIS
The 49ers needed to address secondary in this draft and Stout is an interesting play by them. The Western Kentucky product stands in at just 5-foot-8 and 181 pounds but he has 4.44 speed. He was productive with 21 pass breakups and six picks over five seasons (34 starts). Despite the size, Stout is a willing tackler who had 52 stops this past season. His 21 reps on the bench press at the combine back up that play strength. Stout has plenty of experience at nickel and that's his best path to playing time in San Francisco.
