ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Ricky Pearsall (ankle/knee) is “likely to play” in Week 17 against the Bears.

28 December 2025

Pearsall logged three limited practices this week before being listed as questionable. He has been dealing with the knee issue all year and the ankle injury on top of that certainly hasn’t helped. Pearsall’s return couldn’t have come at a better time with George Kittle expected to miss Week 17. With targets up for grabs in the 49ers offense, Pearsall will be a high-risk WR4 versus the Bears.
