Tatum Bethune - Page 3 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Logs another DNP The 49ers listed Bethune (ankle) as a DNP on Thursday's practice report, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Bethune is working through right high-ankle sprain, which forced him to be sidelined for the 49ers' Week 12 win over the Panthers. He would give himself a chance to play against the Browns on Sunday with a return to practice Friday, but if he's ruled out for Week 13, then Curtis Robinson would likely start at linebacker for a second straight week.

Misses practice Wednesday Bethune (ankle) was absent from practice Wednesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bethune was forced to miss the team's Week 12 win over the Panthers due to a right high-ankle sprain, and he has now been forced to miss the team's first practice session of the week. The linebacker will have two more chances to return to practice prior to Sunday's matchup with the Browns in Cleveland. If he can't go in Week 13, Curtis Robinson would likely step into a starting role at middle linebacker for a second week in a row.

Ruled out for Week 12 Bethune (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Carolina, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Bethune took over as the 49ers' starting middle linebacker in Week 7 after Fred Warner sustained a season-ending ankle injury against the Buccaneers in Week 6. However, Bethune suffered a high-ankle sprain against the Cardinals in Week 11, and the second-year linebacker will miss his first game of the regular season as a result. In his absence, Curtis Robinson will step up as the starting middle linebacker for Monday's game. Bethune will look to return to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of the 49ers' Week 13 clash against the Browns.

Misses practice Thursday Bethune (ankle) did not participate at practice Thursday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bethune sustained a right high-ankle sprain in the team's 41-22 victory over Arizona in Week 11, so his inability to practice to open the week comes as no surprise. The linebacker is fighting an uphill battle to play in Week 12, and he'll have two more chances to return to practice prior to Monday night's matchup with Carolina.

Diagnosed with high-ankle sprain Bethune suffered a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's win over the Cardinals and is expected to miss multiple weeks, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

Impact Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Curtis Robinson will be the next man up at middle linebacker for the 49ers, who are already without Fred Warner (ankle) after he suffered a season-ending injury in Week 6. Bethune had recorded double-digit tackles in five straight games prior to being injured in the first half versus Arizona.

Exits with ankle injury Bethune (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Cardinals, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Bethune suffered an ankle injury in the first half of the contest, and his status is now up in the air for the rest of the day. In his absence, Nick Martin and Curtis Robinson are top candidates to see an increase in workload at linebacker.

Double-digit stops again Bethune recorded 10 tackles (two solo), including one tackle for loss in Sunday's 42-26 loss to the Rams.

Impact Bethune was questionable for Sunday's game due to a thigh injury, but he managed to play 96 percent of defensive snaps. He also logged double-digit tackles for the fifth straight game. Bethune should continue to be a very valuable IDP option with Fred Warner (ankle) out for the season.

Good to go against LAR Bethune (thigh) is active for Sunday's game against the Rams, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.

Impact Bethune was limited in practice all week due to a thigh injury, but the second-year pro has been cleared to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. He has started in the 49ers' last three games in the absence of Fred Warner (ankle), with Bethune accumulating 40 tackles (16 solo) and a pass defense over that span.

Tagged as questionable Week 10 Bethune (thigh) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bethune's practice reps were limited all week while working through a thigh injury, and his status for Sunday's NFC West clash is up in the air. The second-year linebacker has taken on a larger workload on defense after Fred Warner suffered a season-ending ankle injury in Week 6, so Bethune's absence would mean a substantial boost in defensive snaps would go to Curtis Robinson or rookie third-rounder Nick Martin. Bethune has accumulated 50 tackles (21 solo) and one pass defense over his last four games.

NOVEMBER 7, 2025 • Associated Press

Limited again Bethune (thigh) was a limited participant in practice for the second day in a row Thursday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact The middle linebacker's status remains unclear ahead of Sunday's divisional matchup with the Rams. Bethune has taken over the starting role in the wake of Fred Warner's season-ending ankle injury in Week 6, playing every defensive snap in each of the last two games and making 10 or more stops in each of the last four contests.

Nursing thigh injury Bethune was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a thigh injury, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Bethune recorded a career-high 16 combined tackles during the 49ers' Week 9 win over the Giants while playing every single defensive snap, but he appears to have come out of that contest with a thigh injury. He had his practice snaps limited Wednesday, and he'll have two more opportunities to practice fully and avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's NFC West clash against the Rams. Bethune has logged 40 tackles (16 solo) and one pass defense in his last three games that he's started, which coincided with Fred Warner's season-ending ankle injury that he sustained against the Buccaneers in Week 6.
