The San Francisco 49ers<\/a> on Monday received some scary news on recently-acquired defensive end Keion White.<\/p>\n

According to reports, White was shot in the ankle<\/a> in downtown San Francisco and suffered a non-life threatening injury. He was not believed to be part of the altercation that led to the shooting, and is undergoing surgery at a local hospital per the Athletic’s Matt Barrows.<\/p>\n

Barrows also posted statements from the 49ers and the San Francisco Police Department.<\/p>\n

Via Barrows:<\/p>\n

From the 49ers: \u201cKeion White was a victim of a shooting and sustained a bullet wound to his ankle this morning in San Francisco. He is currently undergoing surgery at a local hospital. We will provide further updates when appropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n

From SFPD: “A preliminary investigation revealed a verbal altercation occurred between two groups inside a business.\u00a0 The victim was injured when shots were fired by an unknown suspect.”<\/p>\n

White was a trade deadline acquisition by the 49ers when they dealt a sixth-round pick to the New England Patriots. He posted 12 tackles, two tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks in nine games with San Francisco. The 2023 second-round pick is entering the final year of his rookie contract in 2026.<\/p>\n

This is the second time in three years a 49ers player has been the victim of a shooting in San Francisco. Wide receiver Ricky Pearsall was shot through the chest a week before the 2024 regular season began. He wound up missing the first six weeks of the regular season.<\/p>\n

It’s unclear what White’s timeline for his return is. The 49ers are currently away for the offseason and won’t be back at their team facility until sometime in mid-April for Phase One of the offseason program.<\/p>\n
