NFL:
With Tatum Bethune's ankle scare, who steps up at linebacker for SF in the immediate practices following the game?
Qwiket AI:
SF will lean on a mix of depth linebackers and special-teams contributors. Bethune’s return hinges on day-to-day health, but if he’s limited, players like the other rookies and veterans vying for the roster spots will get increased reps. Shanahan’s staff will prioritize effort and scheme fit in practice to gauge who can fill in as needed.
