Ben Bartch - Extended absence expectedBartch suffered a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's win over the Bears and is slated to go on injured reserve this week, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ImpactBartch's season may be over, as a move to IR would force him to miss the 49ers' final four games of the regular season. In that case, San Francisco would need to find their way into a playoff spot for the 26-year-old to take the field again during this campaign.

Nick Bosa - Still under evaluationBosa (oblique) is still considered day-to-day as the 49ers start Week 15 prep Monday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ImpactBosa was unable to practice last week leading up to his third straight absence due to the injury. Considering the lack of practice time and a short week with the 49ers hosting the Rams on Thursday, it seems unlikely the Ohio State product would be able to suit up for the divisional matchup. However, a definitive answer will likely surface closer to kickoff.

ImpactShanahan said that the team will "evaluate [Guerendo] over the next few days, to see if he'll have a shot" to suit up for Thursday Night Football, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Before exiting Sunday's 38-13 win over the Bears in the fourth quarter, Guerendo compiled 128 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns while operating as San Francisco's lead backfield option. In the event that Guerendo isn't able to play Thursday, Patrick Taylor will be the next man up at running back, with Christian McCaffrey (knee), Jordan Mason (ankle) and Elijah Mitchell (hamstring) all on IR. The 49ers also have Ke'Shawn Vaughn and Israel Abanikanda available behind Taylor.
