Looking good for Sunday Beal (concussion) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game at Cleveland, Noah Furtado of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Beal sat out Week 12 versus the Panthers as he recovered from a concussion he sustained in Week 11 at Arizona, but it looks like he's on track to return in Week 13. With Sam Okuayinonu listed as out with an ankle injury, Beal could be in line for an expanded role on the edge Sunday.

Full practice Wednesday Beal (concussion) logged a full practice Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Beal was sidelined for Monday's win against the Panthers due to a concussion. His return to a full practice is a good sign, but it's unclear if he has cleared the league's concussion protocol -- a requirement for him to be active for a Week 13 matchup against the Browns.

NOVEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive for Week 12 Beal (concussion) is inactive for Monday's game against the Panthers, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.

Impact Beal was unable to practice during Week 12 prep while in the league's concussion protocol, which he wasn't able to clear ahead of Monday's contest. The third-year defensive lineman will aim to return to practice in the hopes that he can play against the Browns on Sunday. Keoin White and Clelin Ferrell are in line for a slight increase in rotational snaps at defensive end in Beal's absence.

Out with concussion Beal (concussion) has been ruled out for Monday night's game against Carolina, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury Newsreports.

Impact Beal remained sidelined from practice all week after suffering a concussion in the 49ers' Week 11 win over the Cardinals. The 26-year-old primarily contributes to special teams, so his absence will not significantly impact the defense.

Absent from practice Beal (concussion) was a non-participant at practice Thursday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact Beal suffered a concussion in the team's 41-22 win over the Cardinals in Week 11, so it comes as no surprise that he opened the week on the sidelines at practice. The defensive lineman will have to clear concussion protocol in order to play in Monday night's matchup with the Panthers. Beal will have two more chances to return to practice and clear protocol before the contest.
