Multiple NFL Defensive Backs Exit Preseason Games with Injuries

Several NFL players suffered injuries during their teams' 2025 preseason games. San Francisco 49ers safety Marques Sigle left their game against the Denver Broncos with an injury and is now questionable for return, potentially leading to increased playing time for other defensive backs. Also in the 49ers-Broncos game, linebacker Tatum Bethune sustained an ankle injury but managed to return before the quarter ended. The Kansas City Chiefs' veteran defensive back Deon Bush was sidelined with an Achilles tendon injury during their preseason matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, with younger players expected to fill his snaps. Meanwhile, Dallas Cowboys guard Saahdiq Charles left their game against the Los Angeles Rams due to a knee injury and was evaluated on the sidelines. These injuries highlight the challenges teams face during preseason as they assess depth and player readiness for the upcoming season.
