Kerry Hyder: Let go by San Francisco
Rotowire
The 49ers released Hyder on Friday, per the team's official site.
San Francisco acquired Randy Gregory from the Broncos in a trade Friday and therefore needed to open up a spot on the roster. Hyder was consequently let go after logging one tackle (a sack) over the team's first four games. The veteran has recorded 22 sacks in his NFL career and may now seek an opportunity elsewhere.
49ers' Kerry Hyder: Performs well in preseason finale
Rotowire
Hyder (shoulder) stood out during Friday's 23-12 preseason loss to the Chargers, according to Kyle Madson of USA Today.
Hyder exited San Francisco's previous preseason contest with a shoulder injury, and he did not return to that game. It looks like this injury wasn't ultimately all that significant, as the 32-year-old still wrangled four tackles (two solo), one quarterback hit and a pass defended after he was subbed into Friday's contest. Hyder figures to provide San Francisco with some valuable depth at defensive end this coming season.

Rotowire
Hyder (ankle) has been ruled active for Sunday's contest against the Raiders.
Hyder has been managing an ankle injury since the Week 14 win over Tampa Bay, and this issue kept him sidelined for the first time ahead of last week's victory versus Washington. The 31-year-old should now reprise his rotational role behind starting defensive ends Nick Bosa and Samson Ebukam.

49ers' Kerry Hyder: Won't play Week 16
Rotowire
Hyder (ankle) has been deemed inactive ahead of Saturday's game versus the Commanders, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Hyder will miss his first game of the season due to a lingering ankle injury picked up during the Week 14 win over Tampa Bay. The seventh-year defensive end has played a rotational role for San Francisco's dangerous pass rush this season. With Drake Jackson (coach's decision) also inactive Saturday, Charles Omenihu and Jordan Willis should be in line for increased usage behind Nick Bosa and Samson Ebukam.
Hyder (ankle) has been ruled active ahead of Thursday's game against the Seahawks.
Hyder logged two tackles while playing his usual share of defensive snaps during Sunday's win over Tampa Bay, but he came away from this contest with an ankle injury. However, this won't keep him from suiting up despite the quick turnaround heading into Thursday Night Football. Expect Hyder to continue slotting into a reserve role behind starting defensive ends Nick Bosa and Samson Ebukam.
Hyder suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's win over the Buccaneers, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Hyder was unable to return to Sunday's matchup in the closing minutes but appeared to be in good spirits while walking off the field after the game, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. It's not yet clear whether the issue will impact his availability for Thursday's game in Seattle.
San Francisco signed Hyder to a one-year, $1.5 million contract Thursday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Hyder previously spent the 2020 season with the 49ers, so he boasts experience in the team's defensive scheme. The veteran defensive end logged 15 appearances in Seattle last year, where he was limited to 33 total tackles and 1.5 sacks.
