Bartch's season may be over, as a move to IR would force him to miss the 49ers' final four games of the regular season. In that case, San Francisco would have to qualify for a postseason spot for the 26-year-old to take the field again before the 2025 season.

Bartch (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against Chicago, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
