San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 27.
| Footballguys view: Purdy is not 100 percent, but he's set to play against the Browns in Week 13. That's a ferocious defense, and having a toe injury could limit Purdy's mobility. He's a low-end QB2, which means Purdy will be on a lot of benches on Sunday. |
San Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 27.
Link to storySan Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (non-injury) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 27.
| Footballguys view: McCaffrey is just getting some rest as the team prepares to play the Browns. Even in a tough matchup, McCaffrey is a must-start RB1 for Fantasy GMs. |

San Francisco 49ers RB Brian Robinson Jr. had seven carries for 40 yards in Week 12 against the Carolina Panthers. He added a four-yard catch.
Link to storySan Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey had 24 carries, 89 yards, and a touchdown against the Carolina Panthers in Week 12. He also caught all seven of his targeted passes for 53 yards.
| Footballguys view: As NFL.com noted, after Monday night, McCaffrey leads the league in receptions with 81. If he's able to finish the season leading the league in catches, he'll become the first running back to do so since Roger Craig in 1985. With 796 rushing yards (tied for 10th in the NFL) and 785 receiving yards after Monday, McCaffrey has five games left to become the first player ever to pull off the feat twice. No surprise, McCaffrey, who has a Week 14 bye ahead, is currently the RB1 overall in fantasy. |

San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe) was able to practice in full Saturday, Nov. 22, and he was removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 12 game against the Carolina Panthers.
| Footballguys view: Purdy returned from a six-game absence and completed 19 of his 26 passes for 200 yards and three touchdowns in a 41-22 win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 11. He'll look to build on that against the Panthers on Monday Night Football. |
San Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) practiced in full on Saturday, Nov. 22, and he was removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 12 game against the Carolina Panthers.
| Footballguys view: Pearsall returned from a five-game absence and finished with one catch for no gain during a 41-22 win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 11. He'll look to pick up the pace against the Panthers in his second game back. |
San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (rest) was able to practice in full for a second straight day Saturday, Nov. 22, and he was removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 12 game against the Carolina Panthers.
| Footballguys view: No surprise here. McCaffrey, who racked up 121 scrimmage yards and scored three touchdowns against the Cardinals last Sunday, is ready to take on his former club in a primetime tilt against the Panthers on Monday Night Football in Week 12. |

San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk has had his 2026 guaranteed money voided by the team, and the two sides seem to be on track to part ways, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: There's a chance Aiyuk has played his final game with the 49ers. Some are still holding out hope within the organization, but we're not sure how things get patched up here. He's allegedly been failing to report to meetings, and the team designated that as a breach of contract terms. Thus, his 2026 guarantees were removed. Aiyuk hasn't played in over a year as he recovers from a major knee injury. |

Free-agent PKs Tanner Brown, Anders Carlson (Packers) and John Parker Romo (Falcons) worked out for the San Francisco 49ers Tuesday, Nov. 18, as PK Eddy Pineiro (hamstring) is considered week-to-week, and expected to miss time. The team will reportedly have more tryouts Wednesday, Nov. 19.

Free-agent QB Adrian Martinez (49ers) is expected to be signed to the San Francisco 49ers practice squad, according to a source.
Link to storyThe 49ers are going to need to bring in a new kicker for their Week 12 Monday night game against the Panthers. Eddy Pineiro suffered a hamstring injury in Sunday's game, and head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Monday that he is considered week-to-week at this point.
| Footballguys view: Pineiro joined the 49ers heading into Week 2 after they released Jake Moody. He is 22-of-22 on field goals and 18-of-22 on extra points in 10 appearances this season. The 49ers do not have a kicker on their practice squad, and Shanahan said that the team will work out kickers this week. |

San Francisco 49ers WR Jacob Cowing (hamstring) is expected to have his 21-day practice window opened after the Week 14 bye, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
| Footballguys view: Cowing sustained two hamstring injuries during training camp, the second of which landed him on injured reserve. It is unclear where Cowing would fit into the 49ers' current receiver situation, and veteran Skyy Moore has taken over as the team's top return man. We'll keep an eye on Cowing as Week 14 draws nearer. |
The wait for Brandon Aiyuk's return continues. The 49ers won't open the receiver's practice window this week. Aiyuk continues to work his way back from the ACL and MCL injuries he sustained last season and remains week-to-week. Another wideout, Jacob Cowing (hamstring), may be nearing a return. Coach Kyle Shanahan noted that the 49ers could open his practice window after the bye week.
| Footballguys view: Aiyuk will not play in next Monday night's Week 12 game against the Panthers, and, as CBSSports.com suggests, he doesn't appear to be particularly close to a return to game action. The 49ers have a Week 14 bye, so perhaps Aiyuk will practice at some point before that and potentially play prior to the end of the regular season. For now, the Niners will continue to roll with Ricky Pearsall, Jauan Jennings, and Kendrick Bourne as their three main wideouts. |

Link to storyRB Christian McCaffrey had had 121 scrimmage yards, two rushing touchdowns, and a receiving score, and the 49ers beat the Cardinals 41-22 on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: McCaffrey carried 13 times for 81 yards and pulled in five of six targets for 40 yards. After being held out of the end zone on the ground through the first five weeks of the season, McCaffrey has six rushing touchdowns over the last six games. As CBSSports.com pointed out, the improved rushing totals haven't come at the expense of his production through the air, as he upped his stellar receiving line to 74-732-5 through 11 starts. McCaffrey will set his sights on his former club in a primetime tilt against the Panthers on Monday Night Football in Week 12. |

TE George Kittle grabbed six receptions for 67 yards and two touchdowns on six targets in Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals.
| Footballguys view: It was Week 1 since we last saw Brock Purdy and Kittle on the field together, and Kyle Shanahan wasted no time in getting San Francisco's passing offense rolling through the quarterback-tight end connection. The two touchdown catches gave Kittle 50 for his career and put him in rarified air in 49ers history. Kittle is now one of three 49ers in history with 500 career catches and 50 career touchdown catches, joining Pro Football Hall of Famers Jerry Rice and Terrell Owens. Kittle and the Niners face the Panthers in Week 12. |

San Francisco 49ers PK Eddy Pineiro (hamstring) suffered a hamstring injury during the Week 11 game against the Arizona Cardinals.
| Footballguys view: The 30-year-old kicker exited the victory with 2:32 remaining in the third quarter and was ruled questionable due to a hamstring injury, following a successful PAT attempt to give the 49ers a 35-10 lead. Coach Kyle Shanahan said later, "We think he pulled [the hamstring], but [we're] not sure; we'll have to check tomorrow." San Francisco was forced to go for two after its final score, with punter Thomas Morstead taking over kickoff duties on the ensuing boot. Piñeiro was spotted limping into the 49ers' locker room after the team improved its record to 7-4. We'll watch for more. |
