Ben Bartch - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Lands on IR The Lions placed Bartch (foot) on injured reserve Friday.

Impact Bartch has already missed three games due to a foot injury that he sustained against the Bills in Week 2. While on IR, he'll be forced to miss at least four games, so Week 10 against the Patriots on Sunday, Nov. 15 is the earliest he can return.

Won't play Week 5 Bartch (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Arizona.

Impact A foot injury will prevent Bartch from playing in a third consecutive game. The Lions are on a bye for Week 6, so he'll have additional time to recover ahead of Detroit's Week 7 home tilt against the Packers on Sunday, Oct. 25.

OCTOBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Missing second consecutive game Bartch (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Impact Bartch has not been cleared to return to practice due to a foot injury, which will rule him out for a second consecutive week. Christian Mahogany will continue to start at left guard, and Bartch's next opportunity to play is Week 5 against the Cardinals on Sunday, Oct. 11.

Ruled out for Sunday Bartch (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

Impact Bartch was unable to practice in Week 3 as he dealt with a foot injury he may have picked up during the Lions' Week 2 loss to the Bills. The Lions will only lose out on a depth option this week, as starting left guard Christian Mahogany has recovered from his hip injury enough to suit up for Sunday's contest against the Jets.

DNP due to foot injury Bartch (foot) did not participate in Thursday's practice.

Impact Bartch has missed each of the first two practices of Week 3 prep due to a foot injury that he may have picked up during the Lions' Week 2 loss to the Bills. He would need to practice in at least a limited capacity Friday to have a realistic chance of playing Sunday against the Jets.

Lands with Lions Bartch (foot) signed a contract with Detroit on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Bartch appears fully recovered from the foot sprain that forced his 2025 campaign with the 49ers to come to an early end last December, and he'll now provide depth along the interior of the Lions' offensive line. The 27-year-old guard has started 24 of 55 career regular-season appearances.

Impact A stint on injured reserve requires a player to miss at least the next four games. With the 49ers on a bye Week 14, Bartch wouldn't be eligible to be activated from IR until the playoffs, assuming San Francisco qualifies for the postseason. Spencer Burford is slated to start at left guard for at least the rest of the regular season in Bartch's absence.

DECEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return due to foot injury Bartch (foot) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Browns, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Bartch sustained a foot injury in the second half of Sunday's game, which is severe enough for him to not return. Spencer Burford will take over at left guard the rest of the way.

NOVEMBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Officially returning in Week 10 Bartch (ankle) is active for Sunday's battle against the Rams, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.

Impact Bartch landed on IR in mid-September due to an ankle injury and missed seven games. He was activated off injured reserve Saturday and has been deemed ready to return for a key NFC West battle versus Los Angeles. It's unclear if Bartch will step back into a starting role, as Spencer Burford has played well in Bartch's absence.

NOVEMBER 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Activated from IR The 49ers activated Bartch (ankle) from injured reserve Saturday.

Impact Bartch had been on injured reserve since Week 3 with an ankle injury. Now activated, the 27-year-old is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams. If he is able to suit up, he will resume his spot at left guard in place of Spencer Burford.
