Ricky Pearsall and Renardo Green will practice in a limited capacity on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported that San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle was dealing with a mid-to-low ankle sprain. That’s good news, as Fowler confirmed Kittle’s suspicions postgame about avoiding the dreaded high-ankle sprain.
On Wednesday, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said Kittle won’t practice, but “He’s got a chance, so we’re not ruling him out.”
Shanahan also said the hip-drop tackle against Kittle wasn’t as obvious as Ricky Pearsall’s the week prior, but added that it was debatable.
Kittle falls under one of the few players on the roster who could not practice all week and still suit up Sunday night against the Chicago Bears.
Linebacker Tatum Bethune isn’t on the injury report. Shanahan said, “He is good to go. Yeah, he did zing it like people do on high-ankle sprains, but felt good the last two days. That’s why he wasn’t on the injury report.”
Edge rusher Yetur Gross-Matos isn’t practicing, but that’s “just maintenance from the same thing all year,” according to Shanahan.
Cornerback Renardo Green and wide receiver Ricky Pearsall will be listed as limited. Here’s what Shanahan said “I’m sure he’ll be able to do most today. We’re going half-speed and everything, so yeah, that makes it a little easier on him.”
