49ers List Trent Williams, George Kittle as Questionable for Seahawks Finale With Bye on the Line

The team is balancing playoff seeding with player health.

Overview

  • San Francisco’s final injury report lists Trent Williams (hamstring), George Kittle (ankle), Ricky Pearsall (knee/ankle), Upton Stout (concussion) and Keion White (groin) as questionable.
  • A win over Seattle would clinch a first-round bye and spare a road wild-card game.
  • Williams did not practice this week; Kyle Shanahan says he plays only with medical clearance and Williams’ confidence, and reporters noted he was not moving well in the locker room.
  • Kittle said he expects to play, Pearsall is expected to go despite the tag, and Stout practiced fully Thursday while still in the concussion protocol.
  • If Williams is unavailable, Austen Pleasants—who has taken first-team reps on Wednesdays—would start at left tackle; the 49ers also curtailed full-speed work as Kyle Juszczyk and Christian McCaffrey returned to full participation.
