Ziggy Ansah News
The San Francisco 49ers fear that defensive end Ziggy Ansah (biceps) suffered a torn biceps in the Sunday night loss to the Eagles. Ansah was ruled out at halftime with an arm injury, and he would need season-ending surgery if the fears are confirmed by testing on Monday. If that's the case, Ansah would be the team's third outside pass-rusher to have been placed on season-ending Injured Reserve in the span of three weeks. All-Pro Nick Bosa (knee) is out for the year and Dee Ford (back) will miss at least the next three weeks. Ansah had no stats in the two games he was used in, mostly on third-down passing situations. The 49ers Defense will still be in play in a nice matchup against the Dolphins in Week 5, but after that they face a murderer's row in the Rams, Patriots, Seahawks, Packers and Saints.
The San Francisco 49ers signed pass-rusher Ziggy Ansah on Wednesday and promoted defensive lineman Dion Jordan to the active roster after they placed defensive ends Nick Bosa (knee) and Solomon Thomas (knee) on Injured Reserve. San Francisco is bringing in some replacements with Dee Ford (back) also out for Week 3 against the Giants. Ansah and Jordan will try to pick up the slack alongside Arik Armstead, DJ Jones and rookie Javon Kinlaw, but the Niners defense lost the heart and soul of their pass rush with Bosa. It'll make them a little less attractive in season-long leagues, but the 49ers Defense is still worth trotting out there in fantasy lineups this Sunday against a Giants offense now missing Saquon Barkley and Sterling Shepard, arguably their two best offensive weapons.
The San Francisco 49ers are meeting with free-agent pass-rusher Ziggy Ansah with the expectation that they will sign him after he goes through COVID-19 testing. Ansah has visited with the team twice, but the sides never agreed to a deal. With pass-rushers Nick Bosa (knee) and Solomon Thomas (knee) both suffering serious injuries in Week 2, the Niners are looking for reinforcements on the defensive line. The 31-year-old former first-round pick of the Lions in 2013 had 2.5 sacks in 11 games (one start) with the Seahawks last year and has had trouble staying on the field in his seven-year career. He could provide some much-needed depth, but Ansah won't be on the IDP radar. San Fran's defense is still worth starting in fantasy, but they'll lose some of that high-end potential with Bosa injured.
