The 49ers placed Bartch (foot) on injured reserve Monday.

49ers' Ben Bartch: Heading to IR with foot sprain
Head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters Monday that Bartch will be placed on injured deserve after spraining his foot during the 49ers' 26-8 win over the Browns on Sunday, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

With the 49ers on a bye Week 14, Bartch wouldn't be eligible to be activated from IR until the playoffs, assuming San Francisco qualifies for the postseason. Spencer Burford is slated to start at left guard for at least the rest of the regular season in Bartch's absence.

49ers' Ben Bartch: Out for second preseason game
Bartch (elbow) won't be available for Saturday's preseason game against Las Vegas, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

He has only appeared in 21 regular-season games over the last three campaigns, spending time on injured reserve with a knee injury in 2022 and in 2024 with a high-ankle sprain.
