49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday night's Divisional Round game vs. the Seahawks after a limited week of practice. Pearsall was optimistic about his availability for this one earlier in the week, so we're tentatively projecting him to play. We'll look for further updates on Pearsall's status and get San Francisco's inactives around 6:30 pm ET on Saturday.

49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) is "optimistic" that he'll play vs. the Seahawks on Saturday night. He's been limited in the first two practices of the week, but the ankle issue that had been on the injury report recently is gone. Pearsall has been banged up basically all season, but he's tallied 85+ yards in four of his nine games, including each of his last two. It's unclear exactly how healthy Pearsall will be for this Divisional Round game, but the 49ers could certainly use him with TE George Kittle out.

49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) got in a limited practice on Tuesday. It's an upgrade over last week, when he missed all three practices. With TE George Kittle out, the Niners could certainly use Pearsall in Saturday night's game vs. the Seahawks. We'll keep you updated on his status for that one.

49ers TE George Kittle tore his right Achilles in Sunday's Wild Card win over the Eagles, HC Kyle Shanahan confirmed afterward. That ends Kittle's season and threatens his availability for the start of the 2026 campaign, which kicks off in about eight months. Kittle won't be helped by the fact that he's 32 with a lengthy injury history. It's possible that we never see a dominant version of Kittle again. We'll keep you updated on his rehab progress this offseason. Jake Tonges will step in as San Francisco's lead TE for the rest of this playoff run -- and potentially early next season. He's averaged 6.7 targets, 4.8 catches, 45 yards, and 0.5 TDs across six games without Kittle this season.

49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee, ankle) is inactive for today's Wild Card game vs. the Eagles. No surprise after he missed practice all week. Pearsall's absence leaves Demarcus Robinson and Kendrick Bourne as San Francisco's No. 2 and 3 WRs behind Jauan Jennings.

49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee, ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Wild Card game vs. the Eagles. He didn't practice all week. HC Kyle Shanahan said Friday that Pearsall has "a chance" to play in this one, but it seems unlikely. We'll look for further updates on Pearsall's status and get San Francisco's inactives around 3 pm ET tomorrow.

49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee, ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. HC Kyle Shanahan said earlier this week that Pearsall aggravated his PCL injury ahead of the regular-season finale vs. the Seahawks. We're currently projecting him to miss Sunday's Wild Card game vs. the Eagles, but we'll keep you updated on his status.

49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said Monday that a re-aggravated PCL injury kept WR Ricky Pearsall from playing vs. the Seahawks in Week 18. Pearsall missed six games in the middle of the season with the knee injury, returned for four games, but then missed two of the final three. He's seemingly uncertain for Sunday's Wild Card game vs. the Eagles. We'll keep you updated on Pearsall's status throughout the week.

49ers QB Brock Purdy suffered a stinger at the end of Saturday's night's loss to the Seahawks, HC Kyle Shanahan said afterward. Purdy "checked out alright" and could have returned to the game, Shanahan added. It sounds like Purdy will be fine for the playoff opener, but we'll keep tabs on his status this coming week.

49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee, ankle) is inactive for tonight's game vs. the Seahawks. It's a surprise after he played last week and got in three limited practices this week. Pearsall's absence leaves Kendrick Bourne and Demarcus Robinson as San Francisco's No. 2 and 3 WRs -- and should mean more targets for RB Christian McCaffrey, TE George Kittle, and WR Jauan Jennings.

49ers TE George Kittle (ankle) is active for tonight's game vs. the Seahawks. He was limited in practice all week and very likely won't be at 100% for this one. But Kittle still sits safely at No. 2 in the Week 18 TE rankings.

49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee, ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday night's game vs. the Seahawks. He caught five balls for 85 yards on an 81% snap rate last Sunday night and then put in three limited practices this week. We're fully expecting Pearsall to play this weekend but will get San Francisco's inactives around 6:30 pm ET on Saturday.

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (back) is not listed on the final injury report for Saturday night’s game vs. the Seahawks. He took Tuesday off but put in a limited practice on Wednesday and was a full participant on Thursday. CMC will be ready for his usual workhorse role with the NFC West title on the line.

49ers TE George Kittle (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday night’s game vs. the Seahawks after a limited week of practice. He’s not back to 100%, but Kittle said Wednesday that he “absolutely” expects to play for the division title. We believe him – and have Kittle projected for a strong outing. Check back around 6:30 pm ET on Saturday for San Francisco’s inactives.

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (back) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday. We haven't sensed any concern about his availability for Saturday night's game vs. the Seahawks. Unless we hear otherwise, expect a full workload for CMC in that one.

49ers TE George Kittle (ankle) remained limited in Wednesday's practice but said that he "absolutely" expects to play vs. the Seahawks on Saturday night. Asked how he feels, Kittle said, "Fabulous. Great position for Saturday night to punch a one seed. So just with that, I'm doing fantastic." Kittle has a strong history of playing through injuries and will be a high-end Week 18 fantasy start.

49ers TE George Kittle (ankle) got in a limited practice on Tuesday. That should have him on track to return for Saturday night's game vs. the Seahawks. We'll keep you updated on Kittle's status over the next few days.

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey missed Tuesday's practice with what he called back stiffness. "Nothing serious," he added. McCaffrey popped up with a back issue prior to Week 15 but wound up playing his usual high-volume role in that one. He should be available for Saturday night's game for the NFC West title vs. the Seahawks, but we'll keep you posted on his status leading up to that one.

49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee, ankle) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Bears. He was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable, so it’s fair to assume he won’t be at 100% for this one. But Pearsall certainly has upside in this red-hot 49ers passing game that will be without TE George Kittle tonight.

49ers TE George Kittle (ankle) is inactive for tonight's game vs. the Bears. That leaves Jake Tonges as San Francisco’s lead TE – and a viable fantasy fill-in. He averaged 6.2 targets, 4.4 catches, 41.8 yards, and 0.4 TDs in the five games Kittle missed early this season.
