Ideally Gross-Matos will fit as a defensive end who can also rush the passer from the interior. His return may help make up for the lack of acquisitions on the defensive line at the trade deadline. Sunday will mark his first action since the 49ers’ Week 4 win over the New England Patriots.

The 49ers average just 1.3 more points per game (25.9) than the Seahawks give up (24.6). San Francisco averages 54.8 more yards per game (412.4) than Seattle gives up per matchup (357.6). The 49ers have turned the ball over three more times (12 total) than the Seahawks have forced a turnover (9) this season.
