49ers’ Week 6 Status: Pearsall Unlikely, Jennings Limited Return, Purdy Still Out
San Francisco is preparing contingency plans that lean on recent depth performances pending final availability calls.
Overview
- Head coach Kyle Shanahan said he is not counting on Ricky Pearsall for Sunday, and the receiver was a non-participant again Thursday.
- Jauan Jennings returned to practice in a limited capacity, and Shanahan indicated his availability could be a late-week decision.
- Brock Purdy (toe) remained out, while Mac Jones was limited and did not throw Thursday, with Shanahan saying Jones should be ready for Sunday.
- The practice report also listed Jordan Watkins, Yetur Gross-Matos and Robert Beal as non-participants, with several defensive tackles limited.
- The team will issue its official Week 6 injury report after Friday’s practice, following a Week 5 in which Kendrick Bourne posted 10 catches for 142 yards.
