  • Going to nation's capital

    The Commanders are in line to sign Kinlaw to a three-year, $45 million contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Kinlaw posted career-high marks across the board while starting all 17 regular-season games with the Jets in 2024, totaling 40 tackles (27 solo), including 4.5 sacks, plus two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. He'll form a formidable interior tandem alongside Daron Payne (knee) in Washington, with 2024 second-rounder Jer'Zhan Newton also on hand to contribute after a solid rookie campaign.

  • Posts best numbers of career

    Kinlaw recorded 40 tackles (27 solo), including 4.5 sacks, along with two forced fumbles and a recovered fumble in 17 games (all starts) during the 2024 regular season.

    Analysis: Kinlaw played in all 17 regular-season contests for the second straight season, but unlike in 2023 with San Francisco when he started just six games, he was in the starting unit every week for the Jets this year. The 2020 first-round draft pick thus notched career-high marks with 645 defensive snaps, 40 stops and 4.5 sacks. Kinlaw is set to become an unrestricted free agent upon the beginning of the offseason.

    Kinlaw recorded five tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: The defensive tackle also played on 66 percent of the defensive snaps. Kinlaw has 32 tackles (20 solo), including 2.5 sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 2024.

  • Set to join jets

    Kinlaw agreed to terms on a one-year deal with the Jets on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Kinlaw was drafted by the 49ers in 2020 and has spent four years there. He finished the 2023 campaign with 25 tackles (13 solo), including 3.5 sacks, and three passes defensed across 17 games as a depth interior lineman. He will play a similar role in New York while he works to earn reps behind Quinton Jefferson (groin) and Quinnen Williams.

  • Underwhelms in fourth season

    Kinlaw finished the 2023 regular season with 25 tackles (13 solo), 3.5 sacks and three passes defensed across 17 games. He added nine stops (seven solo) over the 49ers' three playoff games.

    Analysis: Kinlaw's fourth season with San Francisco came to a tepid end, despite appearing in every game for the first time in his career. The 2020 first-round selection operated primarily as a backup to Javon Hargrave, who was signed last offseason to handle the role Kinlaw was supposed to fill when he was drafted. The 49ers already declined Kinlaw's fifth-year option for 2024, making the interior lineman an unrestricted free agent at the start of the new league year.

  • Picks up two sacks

    Kinlaw tallied four tackles (two solo) and two sacks in the 49ers' 42-19 win over the Eagles in Week 13.

    Analysis: Kinlaw's two sacks were his first of the season. His tackle total was also a season-high. The defensive tackle did his damage on just 21 defensive snaps (30 percent). He will continue to provide depth on the interior defensive line going forward.

  • Plays in finale

    Kinlaw (illness) played in Friday's preseason 23-12 loss to the Chargers, Kyle Madson of ninerswire.usatoday.com reports.

    Analysis: Kinlaw did not record any stats, but he did play a ton of snaps and displayed effectiveness on the pass and run. The 25-year-old defensive tacikle appears ready to go for the 2023 season. He is expected to rotate on the interior line with Javon Hargrave and Arik Armstead.

  • Dealing with illness

    Kinlaw (illness) won't play in Saturday's preseason game against the Broncos, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The No. 14 overall pick in the 2020 Draft, Kinlaw is trying to right the ship on his career after he missed 26-of-50 games in his first three seasons. Kinlaw previously already had his fifth-year option declined for 2024. He's trying to carve out a role in the defensive line rotation.

  • Fifth-year option declined

    The 49ers opted not to pick up the fifth-year option on Kinlaw's rookie contract Friday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Kinlaw was selected by the 49ers with the 14th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, but he has struggled to stay healthy, playing in just 24 games in his first three seasons. General manager John Lynch told reporters on Friday that Kinlaw was having "an outstanding offseason," and San Francisco views him as a key rotational player for the defense. Kinlaw will be behind defensive tackle Javon Hargrave, who signed a four-year, $84 million contract with the 49ers in March.

  • Clears final injury report

    Kinlaw (knee) doesn't have a designation for Saturday's wild-card matchup versus Seattle.

    Analysis: Kinlaw has been largely limited since returning from his 11-game hiatus due to a knee injury, though he did suit up for the final three games of the regular season. The 2020 first-round pick then remained limited during practice Tuesday and Wednesday before working his way back to full participation Thursday. Kinlaw should continue to see prominent usage alongside fellow defensive tackles Kevin Givens, T.Y. McGill and Arik Armstead (foot/ankle), the latter of whom is also set to play Saturday.

  • Still dealing with injury

    Kinlaw (knee) was listed as a limited participant on the 49ers' injury report Tuesday.

    Analysis: Kinlaw was activated from injured reserve Dec. 23 and played in each of the final three games of the regular season, though he's still routinely appeared on the injury report with this lingering knee injury. The 25-year-old did play 42 percent of San Francisco's defensive snaps Week 18, marking his most significant playing time since returning from IR. With fellow defensive tackle Arik Armstead (foot/ankle) also dealing with persistent injuries, it will be worth monitoring the status of these…read more

  • Questionable versus Arizona

    Kinlaw (knee) is considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Kinlaw was activated from injured reserve Dec. 23 and has played 35 defensive snaps across the last two games. The 2020 first-round pick then began Week 18 with back-to-back DNPs, though he was able to log one limited practice during Friday's sessions. Should Kinlaw ultimately sit out, San Francisco would be without its top three defensive tackles for Sunday's regular-season finale, as Kevin Givens (knee) has already been ruled out while Arik Armstead (foot/ankle) is also considered…read more

  • Good to go Week 17

    Kinlaw (knee) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game versus the Raiders, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Kinlaw went on IR with a knee injury sustained during the Week 3 win over Denver, and he missed every game before returning to the active roster ahead of last Sunday's win versus the Commanders. The 2020 first-round pick ended up logging one tackle over 14 defensive snaps against Washington and opened Week 17 prep as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice. Kinlaw then ramped up his participation with a limited session Thursday, so it's possible he could again see limited defensive snaps…read more

  • Activated from injured reserve

    The 49ers activated Kinlaw (knee) from injured reserve Friday.

    Analysis: Kinlaw was designated to return from injured reserve Tuesday and has since been added to the active roster, putting him in line to make his first appearance since suffering an elbow injury during Week 3. Given his prolonged absence, Kinlaw figures to be limited during his presumed return to action against the Commanders on Saturday.

    Analysis: Although Kinlaw is now free to return to practice, he'll ultimately sit out of Tuesday's session and instead debut Wednesday, per Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News. The former first-round draft pick hasn't played since he suffered a knee injury back Week 3 against Denver, but Tuesday now marks day one of the 21-day window for San Francisco to add him back to their active roster.

  • Expected to sit Thursday

    Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that the plan is for Kinlaw (knee) to return to practice during Week 16, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Shanahan's update essentially rules Kinlaw out for Thursday's matchup against Seattle, but it appears the third-year defensive tackle could be designated to return in Week 16. Once he returns to practice, he'll have a 21-day window to be added to the active roster, but if he isn't, he'll revert back to IR for the remainder of the season.

  • Goes on IR

    The 49ers placed Kinlaw (knee) on injured reserve Saturday, Josh Dubow of The Associated Press reports.

    Analysis: Kinlaw first suffered the knee injury during practice Week 4, missing the 49ers' subsequent two games as a result. The defensive tackle wasn't as healing as well as the 49ers had hoped leading up to Sunday's game in Atlanta, so he'll end up missing at least four more contests while he recovers from the knee injury. Kinlaw had tallied two tackles across 98 snaps through San Francisco's first three games.

    Analysis: Kinlaw has missed two straight games due to a knee injury, and he may also be in danger of sitting out San Francisco's matchup against the Falcons in Week 6.

    Kinlaw (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Kinlaw will miss a second consecutive game due to a knee injury, and he'll likely remain out for the 49ers' Week 6 matchup against Atlanta, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports. Arik Armstead (foot/ankle) is also sidelined, so Kevin Givens and Hassan Ridgeway should see increased work on San Francisco's defensive line.

  • Inactive Monday

    Kinlaw (knee) was ruled inactive for Monday night's game against the Rams, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Kinlaw did not practice Friday and was considered questionable on the 49ers' injury report Sunday due to a knee injury. The 2020 first-round pick returned in Week 1 after suffering a season-ending torn ACL last October, though it's unclear if this new issue is related. With Kinlaw out, Kevin Givens and Maurice Hurst will step into larger roles alongside defensive tackle Arik Armstead.

    Kinlaw (knee) is questionable to play in Monday's game against the Rams, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

  • Returns to practice

    Kinlaw (knee) participated in team drills during the 49ers' practice Saturday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Kinlaw practiced again for the first time since undergoing season-ending surgery in late October to repair an injured ACL. The 2020 first-round pick totaled a modest eight tackles through the first four games of the 2021 campaign, but, after Maurice Hurst suffered what should be a season-ending biceps injury Friday, Kinlaw still figures to reprise a prominent role at defensive tackle heading into this regular season.

    Coach Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday that Kinlaw has been cleared to participate in training camp, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Shanahan couched his statement by adding that Kinlaw would be brought along slowly. Either way, it's safe to assume any limits to his participation are purely precautionary and that Kinlaw will be prepared to start alongside Arik Armstead on the 49ers defensive line come Week 1.

    Analysis: Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday that Kinlaw is still recovering from ACL surgery but is expected to be ready for training camp, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. The 2020 first-round selection played four games before needing season-ending surgery in late October. A typical recovery timeline suggests that Kinlaw could be ready to return to action by July at the earliest, which would also fit in with his expected return according to Shanahan.

    Analysis: Kinlaw was put on injured reserve Oct. 30 after having season-ending surgery on his knee, but little was known about the procedure. During surgery it was found that Kinlaw had chronic changes to his ACL and the best treatment was ACL reconstruction. The 49ers' 2020 first-round selection should be able to return in 2022.

  • Has season-ending surgery

    Coach Kyle Shanahan revealed Friday that Kinlaw ended up getting season-ending surgery on his knee, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Kinlaw will finish his sophomore season with just eight tackles and no sacks over four appearances. On the bright side, Shanahan believes the surgery has successfully addressed the issue with Kinlaw's knee. The 2020 first-round pick will aim for a healthier and more productive 2022 campaign, while Kentavius Street will likely jump into a starting role along San Francisco's defensive line.

    Analysis: Kinlaw has been dealing with a knee issue since training camp, but he has needed to miss only Week 1 and Week 7 so far. However, he has spent multiple weeks off and on the injury report between games. If Kinlaw opts for season-ending surgery, he'll end his sophomore campaign with eight tackles (one solo).

    Analysis: Kinlaw was sidelined by a knee issue for Week 1 against Detroit.

    Analysis: Kinlaw's knee injury kept him sidelined for the 49ers' Week 1 win over the Lions and prevented him from practicing Wednesday, but he logged a pair of limited sessions Thursday and Friday to take a questionable tag into the weekend. So long as Kinlaw's knee responds well to warmups, he looks like he'll be ready to make his 2021 debut Sunday, though the 49ers could monitor his snap count carefully.

    Analysis: After managing knee swelling at the start of camp, Kinlaw is now nursing a shoulder issue. His return to the practice field is certainly a postitive sign, as the team would presumably not rush their starting defensive tackle back if he was not ready.

    Analysis: Kinlaw recorded three tackles (one solo) across 43 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys but now his status for Week 16 is up in the air as he deals with a knee sprain. If he should be ruled out, look for Kentavius Street to see an uptick in defensive snaps.

  • Suiting up against Rams

    Kinlaw is active for Sunday's matchup against the Rams after being removed from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday.

    Analysis: The 49ers benefit from a Week 11 bye that allowed the team to return a number of defensive contributors in time for an NFC West showdown against Los Angeles. Kinlaw didn't have to miss any game action while residing on the reserve/COVID-19 list. He notched 1.5 sacks in San Francisco's last game Week 10 against the Saints after being unable to collect a single sack over his first nine NFL appearances.

  • Activated off COVID list

    The 49ers have activated Kinlaw (undisclosed) from the reserve/COVID-19 list, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Kinlaw was placed on the 49ers' reserve/COVID-19 list Nov. 18 during their bye week. It remains unclear if he ever tested positive for the illness or was a high-risk close contact. While he did get activated, he remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams.

  • Shifts to COVID-19 list

    The 49ers placed Kinlaw on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Cameron Salerno of The Sacramento Bee reports.

    Analysis: The rookie first-round pick either tested positive for the virus or came into close contact with an infected person. Kinlaw will need to clear the league's COVID-19 protocols before returning to team activities. The 49ers are on a Week 11 bye, providing additional time.

  • Inks deal

    Kinlaw and the 49ers officially to terms on a four-year contract Friday, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.

    Analysis: Kinlaw was selected by the 49ers with the 14th overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft. They took him with the same pick they got from the Colts in exchange for star defensive tackle DeForest Buckner. The rookie certainly has big shoes to fill, but he's a much more affordable option than Buckner for San Francisco right now. The South Carolina product checks in at 6-foot-5, 324 pounds, and he figures to start right away on the line.
