SANTA CLARA — Punter Mitch Wishnowsky likely is heading to the injured reserve list, 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said.
Wishnowsky has been bothered by a back condition and the 49ers are preparing for him to miss an extended period of time. He is listed as out for the 49ers’ game Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks.
Defensive lineman Yetur Gross-Matos will be activated from injured reserve to take that spot on the 53-man roster.

Wishnowsky appears to be a candidate for injured reserve due to the nature of his back condition.
Wishnowsky is in the midst of the worst season of his career, as his net punting average has fallen from 42.7 yards last season to 36.3 yards through nine games.
The 49ers could go with veteran punter Pat O’Donnell for a while. The 49ers signed O’Donnell to the practice squad this week. He will be elevated on Saturday to handle the punting and holding chores against Seattle.
In nine NFL seasons, O’Donnell averaged 45.1 yards per punt with a 39.2-yard net average.
Offensive lineman Jon Feliciano (knee) was listed as questionable.
Gross-Matos was a full participant in practice and will be activated off injured reserve to be available for Sunday’s game, Shanahan said.
Feliciano is also currently on injured reserve.
