San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Keion White underwent surgery Monday following a shooting incident that occurred in San Francisco late Sunday night, shortly after the conclusion of Super Bowl LX. White was shot in the ankle and received medical treatment for the injury.
Details surrounding the circumstances of the shooting remain limited, and local authorities have not yet released further information regarding the incident or any possible suspects. White is currently recovering from surgery, and medical staff have not disclosed a timeline for his rehabilitation or return to football activities.
White joined the 49ers and contributed to the team’s defensive unit during the recent NFL season. His recovery will be monitored closely by the team and its medical personnel. The organization has not commented publicly on the incident as of this time.
The shooting occurred in San Francisco, where many players, fans, and team personnel were present following the conclusion of the Super Bowl. While the 49ers participated in the championship game earlier Sunday, official details regarding team activities following the contest have not been released.
Law enforcement officials are continuing their investigation, and any updates related to the incident will likely be released through official channels.
White was a valued part of San Francisco’s defensive rotation during the 2025–26 NFL season and was known for his physical presence and versatility along the defensive front. As with any injury of this nature, his long-term recovery will be a point of interest for the franchise and its supporters moving forward into the offseason.
The NFL and the San Francisco 49ers have not issued formal statements at this time. Further updates are expected as more information becomes available and as White progresses in his recovery.
