Overview

  • Kyle Shanahan said the ankle "shouldn't rule him out this week" after tests confirmed it was not a high sprain.
  • The coach is unsure whether Pearsall will practice this week, leaving his status for Monday night at the Colts unresolved.
  • Pearsall aggravated the same PCL that cost him six games earlier this season, raising concern about recovery timelines.
  • He finished the Titans game with six catches for 96 yards in a 37-24 win that moved San Francisco to 10-4.
  • San Francisco expects several injured contributors, including Tatum Bethune, Sam Okuayinonu, Spencer Burford and Jordan Elliott, to return to practice.
