49ers Uncertain on Ricky Pearsall for Week 16 After PCL Aggravation and Ankle Sprain

Kyle Shanahan says practice evaluations this week will determine the receiver's availability.

Overview

  • Shanahan confirmed Pearsall aggravated a preexisting PCL injury and has a low‑grade ankle sprain from the Titans game.
  • Pearsall left the game twice and finished with six catches for 96 yards before exiting late in the fourth quarter.
  • The coach said it is unclear if Pearsall will practice or play against the Colts on Monday, with the team resuming practice Wednesday.
  • San Francisco plans to open Jacob Cowing’s 21‑day practice window ahead of Week 17 against the Bears.
  • Shanahan indicated rookie Jordan Watkins is not yet trusted for regular snaps, and an outside injury analyst suggested Pearsall could miss the rest of the regular season.
