In need of reinforcements along their injured defensive line, the 49ers made a trade with the New England Patriots for defensive end Keion White and a 2026 seventh-round draft pick in exchange or a 2026 sixth-rounder. Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan discuss the how White bolsters a 49ers defensive line whose nine sacks are tied for the second-fewest among all NFL teams this season. Matt also sits down with NBC Sports Boston's Patriots insider Phil Perry to examine White's time with the organization as a former second-round pick of the 2023 NFL Draft. Lastly, Jennifer and Matt review if the 49ers would entertain any other trades, assess rookie Mykel Williams' stock through eight games and provide 49ers injury updates before San Francisco's Week 9 game against the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium.

The 49ers came into Week 8 knowing the Texans' defense was elite, but it was Houston's struggling offense that took over Sunday at NRG Stadium. Heavily scrutinized QB C.J. Stroud executed a sound game plan for the Texans, while 49ers teammates George Kittle and Jake Tonges each caught a touchdown on on national Tight Ends Day to keep San Francisco's comeback hopes alive. San Francisco's offense lacked much rhythm beyond that, and the disjointed display effectively ended in a 26-15 loss, their third of the season. On this episode of "49ers Talk," co-hosts Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan break down what went wrong with San Francisco on both sides of the ball, which injuries will further affect the 49ers' depleted depth and how they can turn a performance like this around in Week 9 vs. the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium.
