Impresses in larger role Bethune recorded 10 total tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 30-19 loss to the Buccaneers.
Impact The second-year pro from Florida State had played just three defensive snaps all season prior to Fred Warner's (ankle) injury in the first quarter of Sunday's loss. Bethune made the most of his opportunity, finishing with a career-high and team-leading 10 total tackles across 42 defensive snaps in Week 6. With Warner expected to miss substantial time, Bethune is likely to step in as the 49ers' starting middle linebacker for the remainder of the season.

Past ankle injury Bethune (ankle) logged two tackles (one solo) during Saturday's 22-19 preseason win over the Raiders.
Impact Bethune was iffy to play after suffering an ankle injury during the 49ers' preseason opener against the Broncos. The 2024 seventh-rounder was cleared to play after going through pre-game warmups and played 36 snaps (30 on defense, six on special teams). Bethune is competing for a rotational spot in the 49ers' linebacker corps, and his last in-game audition takes place Saturday against the Chargers.

Dealing with ankle injury Bethune suffered an ankle injury in Saturday's 30-9 loss to the Broncos, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Impact Bethune secured six total tackles (five solo) in the contest, but he appears to have left the game a little worse for wear. Head coach Kyle Shanahan mentioned that the linebacker could return to action Saturday versus the Raiders, which seems to suggest that the injury is minor. Bethune can be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Active for Monday night Bethune (knee) is active ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Lions, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.
Impact Bethune was added back to the 49ers' active roster earlier Monday after missing the team's last five contests due to a knee injury, so it's no surprise he'll return to the field in Week 17. With the 2024 seventh-round pick from Florida State active, he's likely to serve as a depth piece in San Francisco's linebacker corps Monday night.
DECEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Activated Monday Bethune (knee) was activated from the injured reserve list Monday.
Impact The rookie linebacker from Florida State had missed San Francisco's last five games due to a knee injury. He was designated to return from IR on Friday and has now been added to the 49ers' active roster after practicing in full throughout the week. Bethune is likely to return to the field for San Francisco's Week 17 matchup against the Lions; however, he's remains listed as questionable for Monday night's game, leaving a chance he could miss one more contest.

Designated to return Bethune (knee) was designated to return from injured reserve Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Impact Bethune has been sidelined for the 49ers' last five games after sustaining a sprained MCL in the Week 11 loss to the Seahawks. The rookie linebacker from Florida State practiced in full Friday, suggesting he may return for San Francisco's Week 17 matchup against the Lions. However, Bethune must still be added to the active roster in order to suit up Monday night.
DECEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Lands on injured reserve The 49ers placed Bethune (knee) on injured reserve Saturday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact Bethune sprained his MCL during the 49ers' Week 11 loss to the Seahawks. Now that he's on IR, Bethune will be forced to miss at least the next four games, and the earliest he could return is Week 16 against the Dolphins on Sunday, Dec. 22.
NOVEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Ruled out for Week 12 Bethune (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Impact Bethune sprained his MCL in the first quarter of this past Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. He's mostly played on special teams this season, so his absence won't hurt the 49ers' depth on defense that much. Bethune's next opportunity to play will be Week 13 against Buffalo on Sunday, Dec. 1.
