49ers | Ricky Pearsall dealing with injuries Tue Dec 16, 02:59 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (ankle, knee) is dealing with ankle and knee injuries, so his practice participation for this week is uncertain, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
| Footballguys view: Pearsall apparently aggravated his PCL injury. Against the Titans, Pearsall put up six catches for 96 yards. That's more than what he's tallied from Weeks 11 to 13 combined. It's also his best output since Week 3 (eight catches for 117 yards). The 49ers play on Monday night, so they have an extra day for Pearsall to get right. But Pearsall's status against the Colts should be an easy decision for the 49ers to make. |

49ers | Ricky Pearsall should be fine after tweaking ankle, knee Mon Dec 15, 02:20 AM
49ers receiver Ricky Pearsall dealt with a couple of injuries during Sunday's victory over the Titans, but he should be OK moving forward. "We'll know for sure tomorrow," head coach Kyle Shanahan said. "I would expect it to be alright, but he was battling through a lot today."
| Footballguys view: Pearsall suffered an ankle injury during San Francisco's first offensive possession and was able to return. He then aggravated a previous PCL injury later in the contest that sidelined him for the rest of the matchup. Despite the injuries, Pearsall finished with six catches on seven targets for 96 yards. It was his most productive game since Sept. 21, when he caught eight passes for 117 yards in a victory over Arizona. The 49ers will have an extra day to prepare and for Pearsall to recover, as they'll play the Colts on the road next Monday night. |

49ers QB Brock Purdy threw three touchdown passes, and the 49ers started the stretch run of their season with a 37-24 victory over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Purdy threw two touchdown passes to Jauan Jennings, another on a 1-yard jump pass to George Kittle that coach Kyle Shanahan said he usually gives his quarterback a hard time for trying. "But when it works, we call him Michael Jordan," Shanahan said. Purdy finished 23 for 30 for 295 yards and converted four first downs with his legs, including a 26-yard scramble that was the longest run of the season for the Niners. San Francisco will play the Colts on Monday Night Football in Week 16. |

49ers | WR Brandin Aiyuk placed on reserve/left squad list, offseason split coming Sat Dec 13, 05:05 PM
According to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area, the San Francisco 49ers have placed WR Brandon Aiyuk on the reserve/left squad list.
| Footballguys view: This move makes Aiyuk ineligible to return to action for the remainder of the 2025 season, and per Maiocco, all but assures an offseason split. This is obviously going to be a situation to watch over the offseason, one that Dynasty investors will want to monitor closely. |

49ers | Christian McCaffrey added to injury report Sat Dec 13, 03:58 PM
San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (back) was added to the Week 15 injury report Saturday, Dec. 13, because of a back injury and is listed as questionable.
| Footballguys view: McCaffrey was limited in practice this week. On Thursday, he was listed with an illness, but on Friday, he was a full participant. Now, he's on the injury report with a back injury. Although ESPN's Adam Schefter reports McCaffrey "should be good to go," it's the Titans, so the 49ers should control this game. They might shut McCaffrey down if/when they jump out to a big lead... assuming he plays. The game is Sunday afternoon, so have another plan ready just in case. Brian Robinson might be in line to do more in Week 15. |

Link to story 49ers | Niners hopeful Brandon Aiyuk makes it back Tue Dec 2, 12:04 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk's (knee) return this season is in question, according to general manager John Lynch. When asked if Aiyuk's return was realistic, Lynch said: 'Realistic? I'm not sure - hopeful.'
| Footballguys view: Head coach Kyle Shanahan recently confirmed a report that the team has voided the remaining guaranteed money on Aiyuk's deal. The wideout had a guaranteed salary of $26.15 million for the 2026 season, but did not challenge the team's decision. Per a report from The Athletic, Aiyuk, who has not played since Week 7 of last season due to a serious knee injury, "failed to attend meetings and declined to participate in other team activities in recent months." We'll continue to watch for more, but 2025 fantasy investments in Aiyuk aren't likely to yield any return. |

San Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall caught two passes for 14 yards against the Cleveland Browns in Week 13. He was targeted three times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Pearsall is too far down the pecking order for targets to matter in fantasy leagues on a windy day against a good Browns defense. He's not worth carrying through the bye if there's someone compelling available on the waiver wire. |

| Footballguys view: This is what a floor game for McCaffrey looks like this season. He has stayed healthy under a heavy workload and will get to rest during his Week 14 bye. A lot of McCaffrey fantasy teams are going to get first round byes, or at least make the fantasy playoffs to reward the risk taken in the first round of drafts. |
