Another 49ers LB exits early with injury vs. Seahawks on Saturday

The San Francisco 49ers have had some seriously bad luck when it comes to injuries this season, especially on their defense, and even more specifically at linebacker.

San Francisco entered their Week 18 battle with the Seattle Seahawks without Fred Warner (injured reserve), Nick Martin (injured reserve) and Curtis Robinson (inactive), and they lost Dee Winters to an ankle injury in the second quarter.

Things got worse for the 49ers at the position when Tatum Bethune suffered an injury in the fourth quarter on a five-yard pass from Sam Darnold to Cooper Kupp.

It's unclear what Bethune's injury is or how long he'll be out, but if he can't return, the 49ers will be down to just Eric Kendricks, Garret Wallow and Luke Gifford at linebacker for the rest of the contest.
