Head coach Kyle Shanahan said in his Friday press conference that tight end George Kittle and receiver Ricky Pearsall are both questionable for the Week 17 contest.
Take a look at players who have been ruled out for the San Francisco 49ers Week 17 "Sunday Night Football" matchup versus the Chicago Bears.
George Kittle said last night that he injured his ankle in the second quarter on an apparent hip-drop tackle. That play appears to have come early in the third quarter on the reception that put Kittle over 100 yards for the game. pic.twitter.com/qSHSaaMrOE
The 49ers (11-4) will miss their play-making tight end while at the same time welcome back one of their top receivers when they host the Chicago Bears (11-4) tonight at Levi’s Stadium (5:20 p.m., NBC). The 49ers are 10-14 since 2017 in games without Kittle and 71-52 with him in the lineup.
