The San Francisco 49ers have announced their inactive roster for the Week 17 matchup against the Chicago Bears at Levi’s Stadium. This Sunday Night Football game features critical roster decisions as several players will not participate.
Key Player Updates
Tight end George Kittle, who has been managing an ankle injury, has been ruled inactive for this game. His status was uncertain until the last moment.
Wide receiver Ricky Pearsall, initially listed as questionable, is active for the game. Coach Kyle Shanahan expressed optimism about Pearsall’s progress after missing practice last week. “He got through it,” Shanahan remarked, highlighting Pearsall’s improved condition leading up to the game.

To strengthen their lineup, the 49ers have elevated linebacker Eric Kendricks and tight end Brayden Willis from the practice squad ahead of kickoff.
