Beal (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports. Beal will miss a third straight game due to an ankle injury, which means his 2024 regular season is over. The 2023 fifth-round pick split his time between defense and special teams across 14 games and will finish his second NFL regular season with 17 tackles (11 solo).
Beal (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against Detroit, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports. Beal will miss his second straight game due to an ankle issue. The second-year defensive lineman wasn't able to practice at all this week, and it's uncertain if he'll be able to suit up in San Francisco's season finale next weekend. Beal has worked in a rotational role throughout the campaign, totaling 142 snaps on defense and 238 on special teams over 14 contests.
Beal (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports. Beal popped up on Friday's injury report as a limited practice participant due to an ankle injury. The issue appears severe enough for the 2023 fifth-round pick to be sidelined for Sunday's game, and his next opportunity to play will be Week 17 against the Lions on Monday, Dec. 30. Yetur Gross-Matos and Sam Okuayinonu will serve as the 49ers' rotational defensive ends behind starters Leonard Floyd and Nick Bosa.
In a corresponding move, they placed safety George Odum on their injured reserve list. Beal was originally placed on the injured reserve list prior to Week 1, but it seems like he could finally be on track to make his NFL debut in Week 13 at Philadelphia.
There is now a 21-day window in which the 49ers can officially activate Beal; otherwise they'd have to shut him down for the rest of the campaign. San Francisco's injury reports this week will shed more light on whether he'll be able to suit up for his first regular-season game in Week 10.
