  • Linebacker Tatum Bethune (ankle), defensive lineman Sam Okuayinonu (ankle), and kicker Eddy Piñeiro (hamstring) have been ruled out for the game against the Browns.
  • Head coach Kyle Shanahan indicated Okuayinonu's high-ankle sprain will sideline him for at least a couple of weeks.
  • Robert Beal has cleared concussion protocol and is back practicing.

In-Depth Analysis

The 49ers are managing Christian McCaffrey's workload, providing him with additional rest ahead of their Week 13 matchup against the Browns. This decision comes after McCaffrey had 31 touches in the previous game. The absence of Bethune, Okuayinonu, and Piñeiro will impact the team's depth and special teams. Okuayinonu's high-ankle sprain is expected to keep him out for multiple weeks, while Yetur Gross-Matos is expected to be back after the bye week. The return of Robert Beal from concussion protocol provides a boost to the defense.
