Bosa (hip) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's practice report, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Bosa injured his left hip while sacking Geno Smith during the third quarter of Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Seahawks, and the former was unable to return to the contest. Bosa would be in danger of missing his first game of the 2024 regular season if he's unable to participate in practice, at least in a limited capacity, over the next two days. If Bosa is inactive for Sunday's game against the Packers, either Robert Beal and Yetur Gross-Matos would start at defensive end opposite Leonard Floyd.

49ers' Tatum Bethune: Expects to miss extended time
Rotowire
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday that Bethune sustained a sprained MCL during Sunday's game versus the Seahawks and will be out for a while, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Bethune was forced out of San Francisco's contest in Week 11 early by a knee injury, and it's now confirmed that it is a somewhat significant issue. He has contributed substantially on special teams so far this season, so the 49ers will have to try to find a way to replace his production in that phase until he's able to return.

He's played an increased role the past two weeks in the absence of Charvarius Ward (personal), but Ward returned to the team Monday and could return to action Sunday against Green Bay, per David Lombardi of The San Francisco Standard.

49ers' Dre Greenlaw: Could resume practicing this week
Rotowire
Greenlaw (Achilles) could be designated for return from injured reserve and resume practicing this week, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.
Greenlaw is in the final stages of his recovery from a torn left Achilles' tendon that he suffered in February during the 49ers' Super Bowl LVIII loss to the Chiefs. General manager John Lynch said Monday that Greenlaw will need to practice for a few weeks before being added back to the 53-man roster, per Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle. While Greenlaw won't be guaranteed to be ready for game action whenever his 21-day evaluation window comes to an end, it's a good sign that the veteran linebacker is ready to take the next step in his recovery program.

49ers' Nick Bosa: Might not play Week 12
Rotowire
Bosa (hip) has about a 50-50 chance to suit up Sunday against the Packers, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
The defensive end sustained the hip injury during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Seahawks and did not return to the game. San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters Monday that, "there's just as good of a chance for him to not play as play," per Wagoner. If the 2022 NFL Defensive Player of the Year can't suit up, Robert Beal and Yetur Gross-Matos are next in line to replace him.

49ers' Nick Bosa: Might miss time
Rotowire
Bosa (hip) is concerned that he will have to miss time after leaving Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Seahawks and not returning, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
The defensive end sacked Seattle quarterback Geno Smith in the third quarter but appeared unable to celebrate due to the injury, per Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle. Bosa entered the game with a questionable tag due to an injury to his other hip, and he believes he may have overcompensated during the contest, according to Wagoner.

49ers' Darrell Luter: Goes on IR with pelvic injury
Rotowire
Luter (pelvis) was placed on the 49ers' injured reserve Saturday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Luter appears to have injured his pelvis during practice this week, as he popped up on Friday's injury report as a DNP. It's serious enough to warrant a multi-game absence, and since he'll be forced to miss at least the next four regular-season games, the earliest Luter can return would be Week 15 against the Rams on Thursday, Dec. 12. Luter has played in just three games and has mostly played on special teams.
