The Cleveland Browns are going up against the San Francisco 49ers in their Week 13 matchup, but they won’t have a few players in the game due to injury and healthy scratches.

Here’s a look at who won’t play for the Browns against the Niners:

G Zak Zinter

Zinter is a healthy scratch for the Browns after not playing since Week 7, his only appearance of the season, against the Miami Dolphins. The third-round pick out of Michigan is not living up to his pre-draft hype, which should provide some worry for the Browns.

OT Cornelius Lucas

Like Zinter, Lucas has not played for the Browns since Week 7 against the Dolphins. The veteran lineman out of Kansas State is in his 12th NFL season, but it could be his last if he is struggling to get on the field for the Browns.

WR Jamari Thrash

Thrash has been dealing with a foot injury that has held him out of the lineup for three weeks. He hasn’t played since the team lost to the New York Jets back on Nov. 9.

Thrash practiced in full in the team’s final session of the week, but he still isn’t ready to get action in a game. Thrash has recorded 10 receptions for 107 yards so far this season for the Browns.

TE Brenden Bates

Bates has been out all week for the Browns with an ankle injury. The second-year pro out of Kentucky was with the Jets and Browns last season before joining the Houston Texans early in 2025.

He re-joined the Browns earlier this month and has played in the team’s last two games, but Cleveland will have to do without him against the 49ers.

DE Alex Wright

Wright is still out of practice with a quad injury he suffered against the Jets. The fourth-year pass rusher has three sacks so far this season for the Browns.

DT Adin Huntington

Huntington has 10 tackles so far this season for the Browns, but won’t be able to add to that total this week due to a quad injury. He’s also served as the team’s goal line fullback.

49ers Inactives

Running back Jordan James, wide receiver Jordan Watkins, offensive lineman Connor Colby, defensive end Sam Okuayinonu, defensive lineman Kevin Givens, linebacker Tatum Bethune and kicker Eddy Piñeiro are out for the Niners against the Browns.

With Piñeiro out, the 49ers are turning to former Washington Commanders kicker Matt Gay, who is making his team debut for San Francisco.

The San Francisco 49ers (8-4) face the Cleveland Browns (3-8) on Sunday, November 30, 2025 at Huntington Bank Field. The 49ers are listed as favorites in this one, with the spread sitting at 5.5 points. An over/under of 35.5 points has been set for the outing.

The 49ers won versus the Carolina Panthers in their last game, 20-9.

In that matchup against the Panthers, Niners quarterback Brock Purdy completed 23 of 32 attempts for 193 yards, with one touchdown and three interceptions.

Last time around, the Browns defeated the Las Vegas Raiders, with 24-10 being the final score.

In the heart of San Francisco, there’s an old-school barbershop serving up a whole new vibe, and turning more than a few heads in the process.

Saba Parsa has spent years searching for a good short haircut. But in a world where salons cater to long hair and barbershops mostly serve men, people like Parsa often end up stuck between a clipper and a hard place.

“Not everybody knows how to cut short hair, so this was a dream spot,” she said.

The Barb is a little shop in Bernal Heights, cutting gender norms down to size, catering to women, nonbinary people, and anyone who wants to go short.

Sheena Lister, owner of The Barb, said the concept grew from a simple gap she kept seeing in the industry. 

“People are used to either getting a haircut at a salon or a barbershop,” Lister said, “and we’re kind of the in-between.”

Short hair seems to be having a moment well beyond San Francisco. Vogue recently noted 2025 is the year of the bobs, chops and pixies, declaring that hair is “going even shorter.”

Ro Gooch, a nonbinary barber specializing in gender-affirming cuts, said The Barb is often the first place where clients are even asked how they want their short hair to lean more feminine, more masculine, or somewhere in between.

She said if you have long hair, you’re going to get booted out of here, though “nicely.”

Their signature style — The Barb — starts at $95, tip included. Part 70s barbershop and part soda fountain, complete with a front window for soft-serve and coffee, the space is designed as much for gathering as grooming.

“Just like the old-school soda fountain and barbershop,” Lister said, “those were both places that people gathered for community.”

As for Parsa, the results needed no explanation. 

“I love it. It’s just a dream,” she said.
