Rookie DT Sebastian Valdez Elevated by 49ers for NFL Debut Against Rams

Undrafted rookie defensive tackle Sebastian Valdez has been elevated by the San Francisco 49ers from the practice squad and is in line to make his NFL debut on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams. Valdez, who signed with the 49ers out of Washington, had an impressive training camp but initially landed on the 16-player practice squad. His elevation comes as the 49ers face injury concerns on their defensive line, making him available for the key NFC West game at Levi’s Stadium.
