49ers rookie sees his season come to an end as veteran gets promotion ahead of Packers clash

The San Francisco 49ers have gotten a lot from their rookie class in 2024, but the season is over for one member of it.
Seventh-round pick Tatum Bethune has been placed on injured reserve, the linebacker having suffered a sprained MCL in last Sunday's surprise loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
But the end of his campaign has provided an opportunity to veteran Tashaun Gipson.
Gipson, who was a starter at safety for the previous two seasons, has been promoted to the active roster to take Bethune's place. San Francisco signed Gipson to its practice squad earlier this month. He had previously been activated for each of the last two games and will provide key insurance behind starters Ji'Ayir Brown and Malik Mustapha.
But the window for another veteran to return is shrinking.
The 49ers again elected not to activate interior offensive lineman Jon Feliciano from injured reserve. Feliciano was downgraded from questionable to out for Sunday's meeting with the Green Bay Packers, and the 49ers have until Monday to activate him to the roster before his 21-day practice window closes.
San Francisco elevated cornerback Nick McCloud and linebacker Jalen Graham from the practice squad to their gameday roster for the visit to Lambeau Field.
