49ers DT Gracen Halton Suffered Broken & Dislocated Ankle

According to Maiocco, 49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said Halton’s injury will end his season, but it’s something that should completely heal so he’s ready for the 2027 season.

Maiocco also brings up that this is the same injury LB Fred Warner dealt with last year, which caused him to miss 105 days.

Halton, 22, was a four-star recruit and the No. 22 recruit in the state of California when he committed to Oklahoma in 2022. He played four seasons and was a part-time starter his final two. 

The 49ers selected him with the No. 107 overall pick in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. He signed a four-year, $5.62 million rookie deal through 2029.

During his four-year college career, Halton recorded 84 total tackles, 17.5 tackles for loss, 8.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, one fumble recovery returned for a touchdown and two pass deflections in 47 games with 10 starts. 

In 2026, Halton appeared in eight games for the 49ers and recorded 15 total tackles, five tackles for loss, two sacks, one pass defended, one forced fumble and a fumble recovered for a touchdown.
