Approaching return to action
Bethune (ankle) is closing in on a return to action, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Bethune has missed the team's last two contests while nursing a high-ankle sprain, and head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that the linebacker has "a chance" to play in Week 15 against the Titans following the team's bye week in Week 14. With Fred Warner (ankle) done for season, Bethune has taken over as the team's starting middle linebacker, so his return will be rather significant for San Francisco.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Chance to fill in for Warner
Bethune will be relied upon to fill the void left by Fred Warner's season-ending ankle injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Nick Martin would have been the obvious choice as a replacement, given his pedigree as a third-round pick in 2025. However, he has not yet been active this season, while Bethune racked up 10 tackles after Warner's departure in Week 6. That sets up the 2024 seventh-round pick for a big opportunity to prove himself as a starting-caliber defender.
