The San Francisco 49ers have had a ton of injuries at linebacker this season. With the depth chart getting thinner and thinner, the Niners must be wishing they still had Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles who is thriving with the New York Giants.
Obviously, the biggest loss for the 49ers this season was losing star linebacker Fred Warner. He does so much for San Francisco on defense that it truly seemed questionable whether the Niners would be able to stop anyone without him.
Thankfully, Tatum Bethune has filled in very nicely at middle linebacker. But, of course, he went down with an ankle injury on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.
