Game-high 11 stops vs. Chicago Bethune logged 11 tackles (seven solo), including one stop for a loss, and one pass defense during the 49ers' 42-38 win over the Bears on Sunday.

Impact Bethune was one of five San Francisco defenders to play every single defensive snap and led both teams in tackles. It was the sixth time this season that he reached double-digit tackles in a game, and the 2024 seventh-rounder is up to 87 tackles (37 solo) and three pass defenses through 13 regular-season games. Bethune has a shot at reaching 100-plus tackles on the year in Saturday's regular-season finale against the Seahawks.

Exits game with ankle injury Bethune (ankle) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Colts.

Impact Bethune missed the 49ers' last three games due to an ankle injury, but it's not clear whether he aggravated the injury or if it's new. While he's being evaluated by medical staff, veteran Eric Kendricks -- who was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Monday's game -- has entered the game to serve as the 49ers' middle linebacker.

Returns to limited practice Bethune (ankle) will be limited at practice Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Bethune last suited up in Week 11, but his ability to practice in some capacity Thursday suggests he has made progress in his recovery.

49ers' Ricky Pearsall faces new injury setback after standout performance in win vs. Titans

Ricky Pearsall is facing another injury setback

DECEMBER 16, 2025 • Associated Press

Slated to return to practice Head coach Kyle Shanahan relayed Monday that he expects Bethune (ankle) to return to practice for Week 16 prep, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bethune has missed the 49ers' last three game due to a right ankle sprain, but he appears to have progressed enough in his recovery to return to practice ahead of San Francisco's Week 16 tilt against Indianapolis on Monday, Dec. 22. The second-year linebacker was thrust into a starting role after Fred Warner (ankle - IR) suffered a season-ending injury in Week 6 against the Buccaneers, and it has been Curtis Robinson who has taken on the starting job in Bethune's absence.

Missing another game Bethune (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Bethune will miss a third consecutive game due to an ankle injury that he suffered in Week 11 against the Cardinals. Curtis Robinson will continue to start at middle linebacker due to the absences of Bethune and Fred Warner (ankle - IR). Bethune's next opportunity to play is Week 16 against the Colts on Monday, Dec. 22.

Remains unable to practice Bethune (ankle) did not practice Thursday.

Impact With consecutive DNPs to begin Week 15 prep, Bethune appears to be in real danger of missing his third straight game Sunday against the Titans. Should that be the case, Curtis Robinson would likely log another start at linebacker.

Not practicing Wednesday Bethune (ankle) is not participating in Wednesday's practice, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Bethune has not played since Week 11 due to a high-ankle sprain, and even now coming off a bye week, he isn't ready to take the practice field. The starting linebacker will have two more opportunities to get back on the field as at least a limited participant ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans, but if Bethune is unable to play Week 15, Curtis Robinson will handle an expanded role on defense again.

DECEMBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Approaching return to action Bethune (ankle) is closing in on a return to action, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bethune has missed the team's last two contests while nursing a high-ankle sprain, and head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that the linebacker has "a chance" to play in Week 15 against the Titans following the team's bye week in Week 14. With Fred Warner (ankle) done for season, Bethune has taken over as the team's starting middle linebacker, so his return will be rather significant for San Francisco.
