49ers reportedly keeping Kerry Hyder Jr. in defensive line mix

The 49ers’ defensive line reportedly will welcome back Kerry Hyder Jr., who led them in sacks in 2020 but tallied just one last season.

SANTA CLARA — Kerry Hyder Jr.’s return to the 49ers could be a boost for the defensive line’s depth, presuming he produces more than the one sack he had last season.

Hyder is re-signing with the 49ers, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Terms are unknown, and the 49ers are expected to confirm Hyder’s return when the offseason program opens Monday. After Hyder led the 49ers with 8 1/2 sacks in their injury-marred 2020 season, he defected to the Seattle Seahawks in 2021 to tally just 1 1/2 sacks. Last season, the 49ers tapped into Hyder’s versatility to help fill in on their injury-depleted interior, while NFL Defensive Player of the Year Nick Bosa produced 18 1/2 sacks.

Hyder’s return could help compensate for the free agency departures of Samson Ebukam , Charles Omenihu and Jordan Willis .Related Articles
