49ers | Ricky Pearsall dealing with injury Mon Jan 5, 03:46 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) recently aggravated the posterior cruciate ligament injury in his knee and will be reevaluated later in the week, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
| Footballguys view: Pearsall's situation has remained tenuous since he returned from a right knee injury in Week 11. He reinjured his ankle and knee in Week 15 against Tennessee, missed the following week against Indianapolis, and then returned last week against Chicago. Saturday was Pearsall's eighth missed game. For the season, he had 36 receptions for 528 yards. He had four catches for 108 yards in the Week 1 meeting with Seattle. Kendrick Bourne and Demarcus Robinson move up in the rotation behind Jauan Jennings in Pearsall's absence. That will continue as needed. |
49ers | Fred Warner has small chance to return Mon Jan 5, 03:28 PM
San Francisco 49ers LB Fred Warner (ankle) has not been ruled out for the season, but head coach Kyle Shanahan said Warner will not be a possible option until the NFC Championship game at the earliest.
| Footballguys view: The 49ers are suddenly thin at linebacker. Warner hasn't played since dislocating and fracturing his right ankle in Week 6, and his replacement, Tatum Bethune, is now out for the season after tearing his groin in the Week 18 loss to the Seahawks. Shanahan said Bethune might need surgery. Eric Kendricks will now take over. Linebackers Dee Winters (ankle) and Luke Gifford (quad) will be evaluated later this week. |

49ers | Jacob Cowing set to practice again Mon Jan 5, 03:20 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR Jacob Cowing (hamstring) is expected to have his 21-day practice window opened this week, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
| Footballguys view: Cowing injured his hamstring in the preseason and went on injured reserve. The 49ers drafted Cowing in the fourth round in 2024, and he caught four passes for 80 yards in 15 games as a rookie, while averaging 8.8 yards on 28 punt returns. The 49ers could use the help at the position, with Brandon Aiyuk having missed the season, and with Ricky Pearsall, Jauan Jennings, and Jordan Watkins having missed time with injuries. |
49ers | Tatum Bethune out for season Mon Jan 5, 03:06 PM
San Francisco 49ers LB Tatum Bethune (groin) will not play again this season because of a groin injury, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
| Footballguys view: Bethune may need surgery, but Shanahan said that no decision has been made on that front. Bethune started in eight of his 14 appearances this season. He had 94 tackles, four tackles for loss, and a sack in those contests. The 49ers have left the door open for Fred Warner to return later in the postseason, but he likely won't be ready to face the Eagles this week. They're also evaluating injuries to Dee Winters and Luke Gifford, which leaves Eric Kendricks, Garret Wallow, and Curtis Robinson as the current healthy linebackers for the Niners. |
49ers | Brock Purdy could have returned to action Sun Jan 4, 09:09 AM
San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy (neck, shoulder) suffered a stinger on his final play in Week 18's game versus the Seattle Seahawks. Although he went to the medical tent, head coach Kyle Shanahan said Purdy was fine and could have re-entered the game.

McCaffrey joined Hall of Famer LaDainian Tomlinson as the only players in NFL history to have three seasons with at least 2,000 scrimmage yards and 15 touchdowns.
