Ex-Stanford linebacker is now tasked with trying to save 49ers' porous defense

The San Francisco 49ers got a win against the Arizona Cardinals last Sunday, but as they have made a habit of doing, they lost a key player in the process. Linebacker Tatum Bethune went down with a high ankle sprain, which means Curtis Robinson is going to have to step up.

San Franciso's injury woes would be comical if this same thing didn't happen every single year, but at this point, the team has to simply be aware that it is going to be a war of attrition.

The Niners already lost their star linebacker Fred Warner due to a broken ankle earlier this season.
