San Francisco 49ers left guard Ben Bartch is headed to injured reserve with a sprained foot and likely done for the season, head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed.

Bartch was injured Sunday at Cleveland as the 49ers (9-4) earned their third straight win with a 26-8 victory against the Browns.

Also hurt in the game were rookie linebacker Nick Martin (concussion) and perennial Pro Bowl fullback Kyle Juszczyk (fractured rib), Shanahan said Monday.

San Francisco has a bye this week before playing three of its last four games at home. The 49ers are a half-game behind the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks in the NFC West.

Bartch, 27, played in six games (two starts) this season. He missed seven games earlier this season on injured reserve with a high ankle sprain.

Juszczyk, 34, caught two passes for 27 yards against the Browns. He has 184 yards from scrimmage and one score in 13 games (all starts) this season, his 13th in the NFL.

Martin, 23, was a third-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft out of Oklahoma State. He has played in seven games and recorded 11 tackles and one forced fumble.
