The San Francisco 49ers announced that linebacker Tatum Bethune, defensive lineman Sam Okuayinonu, and kicker Eddy Piñeiro are all ruled out for the Week 13 NFL game against the Cleveland Browns. The game will take place in Cleveland as part of the 2025 NFL season.
Bethune and Okuayinonu have missed practice time during the week due to ankle injuries, while Piñeiro continues to recover from a right hamstring injury. All three players will not participate in the upcoming game as a result.
Final decisions regarding other players’ availability will be made 90 minutes before kickoff in Cleveland.
CSB Take
The absence of linebacker Tatum Bethune and defensive lineman Sam Okuayinonu creates a notable gap in the 49ers’ defensive lineup, which could impact their ability to contain the Browns’ offense. Losing kicker Eddy Piñeiro forces the team to rely on backup specialists, potentially affecting their special teams performance. These injury setbacks highlight the importance of depth on the roster as the 49ers contend with challenges late in the regular season.
