49ers' Darrell Luter: Goes on IR with pelvic injury
Rotowire
Luter (pelvis) was placed on the 49ers' injured reserve Saturday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Luter appears to have injured his pelvis during practice this week, as he popped up on Friday's injury report as a DNP. It's serious enough to warrant a multi-game absence, and since he'll be forced to miss at least the next four regular-season games, the earliest Luter can return would be Week 15 against the Rams on Thursday, Dec. 12. Luter has played in just three games and has mostly played on special teams.

49ers' Darrell Luter: Toolsy corner for San Fran
Rotowire
The 49ers selected Luter in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 155th overall.
Luter is a bit skinny at just 6-feet, 189 pounds, but the South Alabama product features excellent reach (32 and 3/8-inch arms) and prototypical Cover-3 type athleticism otherwise. Luter logged a 4.46-second 40 and 40.5-inch vertical at the combine, and the South Alabama pass defense was quite strong under Luter's watch.
