Coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday that Gross-Matos will miss some time with a strained hamstring, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Gross-Matos was added to the 49ers' injury carousel Thursday against the Rams, and it looks like it may be the type of issue that could cause him to miss multiple games. If there's any consolation, it's that San Francisco gets a post-Thursday game mini-bye before having to travel across the country to Tampa Bay in Week 6.

Latham (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Arizona, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.

Latham will miss a fourth consecutive game due to a hip injury, but Glennon relays that the second-year offensive tackle has an opportunity to return for Week 6 against the Raiders on Sunday, Oct. 12. Olisaemeka Udoh got the start at right tackle in Week 4 against the Texans and figures to reprise that role against the Cardinals.

Bonner (hamstring) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against Carolina, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Bonner has appeared in just one game this season, seeing one defensive snap and another 14 on special teams for the Dolphins. He's unlikely to see much action on defense against the Panthers.

Coach Todd Bowles said Friday that Morrison (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game at Seattle, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Morrison was forced out of the game early in Week 4 versus the Eagles with a hamstring injury, and now he'll be sidelined in Week 5 as he recovers. In his stead, the Buccaneers may need to call on 2023 sixth-rounder Josh Hayes for significant playing time at cornerback Sunday.

Golston (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Saints.

Golston has missed the Giants' previous two contests but will return against New Orleans to fill his role as a rotational defensive lineman.

Brown (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.

Brown has been working through a knee injury, and the issue is severe enough for him to miss the final two practices of the week. He'll be sidelined for Sunday's road contest, and his next opportunity to play will be Week 6 against the Raiders on Sunday, Oct. 12. Brown has one solo tackle through four games while serving solely in a special-teams role.

Scott has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders due to a knee injury, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Scott was held out of practice all week due to a knee injury, and his next opportunity to play will be Week 6 against the Cardinals on Sunday, Oct. 12. He's mostly served on special teams, but in his absence, Rodney Thomas will serve as the top depth option at safety behind Nick Cross and Camryn Bynum.

Coach Todd Bowles said Friday that Izien (quadriceps) is out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Izien will sit out for a second straight game as he continues to recover from a quad injury he picked up in Week 3 versus the Jets. In his absence, Kaevon Merriweather could see an uptick in reps in the secondary in Week 5.

Wharton (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Wharton returned from a hamstring injury last Sunday against the Patriots and is now dealing with a toe issue that will cause him to miss his third game of the season. Jaden Crumedy should see elevated defensive snaps against Miami.

Strong has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots due to a neck injury.

Strong was unable to participate in the last two practices of the week due to a neck injury, and the rookie sixth-rounder will miss his first game of the season as a result. Ja'Marcus Ingram and Cam Lewis are in line to see more rotational work at corner behind Tre'Davious White and Christian Benford due to Strong's absence. Strong will aim to return to practice next week and be available for the Bills' Week 6 road clash against the Falcons on Monday, Oct. 13.
