San Francisco needed the spot to bring back Ogbo Okoronkwo, ending the four-time Pro Bowl pass rusher's stay after less than two weeks.
The fullback has a hyperextended knee and a bone bruise from Sunday's win over Denver, and Kyle Shanahan will spread his role among the tight ends for the trip to Seattle.
Shane Steichen said the starting defensive end will miss time, and Jeremy Fowler reported a three-to-four-week absence for a pass rush that has produced just 1.5 sacks from its edge group.
