49ers rookie Gracen Halton loses starting job but gains mentor in DeForest Buckner

The fourth-round rookie, who climbed San Francisco's depth chart to start the season amid a slew of injuries, filled in admirably for incumbent starters Alfred Collins and CJ West. He earned more playing time and met the moment in a Week 5 win over the Seattle Seahawks, etching his name into rivalry lore with a forced fumble and a recovery for a touchdown in a three-point win. During his first-ever NFL bye week, the good times continued to roll. Halton attended a team-wide Halloween party.
