Bartch (elbow) won't be available for Saturday's preseason game against Las Vegas, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bartch suffered the injury in practice Tuesday, just a couple of weeks after being activated from the active/non-football injury list with a quadriceps issue. The 27-year-old is in line to be San Francisco's starting left guard alongside left tackle Trent Williams, but Bartch's injury history could be a cause for concern. He has only appeared in 21 regular-season games over the last three campaigns, spending time on injured reserve with a knee injury in 2022 and in 2024 with a high-ankle sprain.

Bartch suffered an undisclosed injury during San Francisco's practice Tuesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bartch exited practice and didn't return, while the severity of his injury is currently unknown. The 27-year-old is expected to serve as the team's starting left guard during the upcoming campaign, but if he ends up being forced to miss extended time, Nick Zakelj will likely start in his place.

Bartch (quadriceps) was activated from the active/non-football injury list by the 49ers on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The offensive guard began training camp with the designation after suffering the injury away from the team's facilities, per Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle. Regardless of where it happened, the injury does not appear to be serious. Bartch, a 2020 fourth-round pick of the Jaguars who has started 22 games across five seasons, is projected to start at left guard for the 49ers in 2025.

Bartch is dealing with a quadriceps injury, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
It is now being reported that it was a quadriceps injury suffered away from the team's facilities that landed Bartch on the active/non-football injury list last week. While there is currently no timetable on his return, he will likely serve as the team's starting left guard once healthy.

Bartch (undisclosed) was placed on the active/non-football injury list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Bartch suffered a high-ankle sprain to end the 2024 season, but it's unclear if that's why he'll start camp sidelined. The 49ers will hope his absence is brief, as he's projected to start at left guard come the regular season.

The 49ers signed Bartch (ankle) to a one-year contract extension Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Bartch missed the final four games of the 2024 campaign due to an ankle injury that resulted in his placement on IR, but he projects to be fully healthy for the start of offseason activities. If Aaron Banks (knee) departs in free agency, Bartch could get a chance to compete for the starting gig at left guard.
