Pearsall Misses Practice with Knee/Ankle, 49ers GM Not Ruling Out Monday Return

Ricky Pearsall (knee/ankle) missed Friday's practice, completing a week of missed sessions after aggravating a PCL injury and tweaking his ankle in Week 15. The PCL issue previously sidelined him for six games (Weeks 5-10). Despite the missed practice, 49ers GM John Lynch stated Friday that Pearsall has "at least some shot" to play in Monday's game against Indianapolis, adding, "we certainly haven't ruled him out." Lynch also dismissed concerns about Pearsall being "injury-prone," emphasizing his importance to the offense. His Week 16 status remains uncertain as the 49ers eye a playoff clinch.
