Beal (concussion) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game at Cleveland, Noah Furtado of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Beal sat out Week 12 versus the Panthers as he recovered from a concussion he sustained in Week 11 at Arizona, but it looks like he's on track to return in Week 13. With Sam Okuayinonu listed as out with an ankle injury, Beal could be in line for an expanded role on the edge Sunday.

Beal (concussion) logged a full practice Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Beal was sidelined for Monday's win against the Panthers due to a concussion. His return to a full practice is a good sign, but it's unclear if he has cleared the league's concussion protocol -- a requirement for him to be active for a Week 13 matchup against the Browns.

Beal (concussion) is inactive for Monday's game against the Panthers, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Beal was unable to practice during Week 12 prep while in the league's concussion protocol, which he wasn't able to clear ahead of Monday's contest. The third-year defensive lineman will aim to return to practice in the hopes that he can play against the Browns on Sunday. Keoin White and Clelin Ferrell are in line for a slight increase in rotational snaps at defensive end in Beal's absence.

Beal (concussion) is listed as doubtful for Monday night's game against Carolina, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Beal remained sidelined from practice all week after suffering a concussion in the 49ers' Week 11 win over the Cardinals. The 26-year-old primarily contributes to special teams, so his likely absence will not significantly impact the defense.

Beal (concussion) was a non-participant at practice Thursday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Beal suffered a concussion in the team's 41-22 win over the Cardinals in Week 11, so it comes as no surprise that he opened the week on the sidelines at practice. The defensive lineman will have to clear concussion protocol in order to play in Monday night's matchup with the Panthers. Beal will have two more chances to return to practice and clear protocol before the contest.

Beal suffered a concussion in the first half of Sunday's contest against Arizona, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Beal took a blow to the head in the first half of Sunday's matchup with the Cardinals, bringing his day to a premature end. The defensive lineman is primarily a special-teams asset, so his absence doesn't carry a major impact on the defense.

Beal (groin) has been ruled out for Thursday night's contest against the Rams, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Beal popped up on the injury report this week with an ankle injury after played 12 snaps on defense and 18 snaps with the special-teams unit in Week 4 against the Jaguars, failing to record any stats. In his absence, Yetur Gross-Matos and Sam Okuayinonu will stand to see slight upticks in workload on the defensive line against Los Angeles.

Beal (groin) returned to practice Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Beal was hurt in San Francisco's preseason opener against Denver on Aug. 9 and missed the team's second preseason game against the Raiders this past Saturday. He could suit up for this upcoming Saturday's preseason finale against the Chargers, in which Beal will look to solidify his standing as a depth pass rushing option ahead of the 49ers' cutdown to 53 players on the roster for the regular season.

EDGE Analysis
Beal will have a week to try and get healthy ahead of the 49ers' next preseason matchup, which will occur Saturday, Aug. 16 against the Raiders. The 2023 fifth-round pick is competing for depth opportunities at defensive end.
