The San Francisco 49ers released their final injury report for Saturday's Divisional Round matchup against the Seattle Seahawks following Thursday's practice. The 49ers will travel to Seattle for the second round of the postseason with a trip to the NFC Championship on the line.
The biggest development of the week was the return of LB Fred Warner to the practice field. San Francisco opened Warner's 21-day practice window earlier this week after the All-Pro linebacker suffered a dislocated and broken ankle in the 49ers Week 6 loss to Tampa Bay, an injury initially expected to sideline him for the remainder of the season. Warner was a limited participant in practice and head coach Kyle Shanahan said he "looked good" in what he was able to do. However, Shanahan confirmed Thursday that Warner will not be activated for Saturday's game and is officially listed as OUT.
S Ji'Ayir Brown (hamstring) is also OUT after suffering his injury during the second quarter of San Francisco's Wild Card win over the Eagles in Philadelphia.
WR Ricky Pearsall (knee), LB Dee Winters (ankle), LB Luke Gifford (quadriceps), and WR Jacob Cowing (hamstring) are all listed as questionable. Pearsall, Winters, and Cowing practiced in a limited capacity throughout the week. Gifford returned to limited participation on Thursday after missing the first walkthrough and practice of the week. Along the offensive line, T Trent Williams (hamstring) progressed to full participation on Wednesday and Thursday and does not carry a game designation.
San Francisco and Seattle are set to kick off Saturday afternoon, with the winner advancing to the NFC Championship Game.
Below is the complete Divisional Round Status Report from Thursday:
- S Ji'Ayir Brown (hamstring) - OUT
- WR Jacob Cowing (hamstring) - Questionable
- LB Luke Gifford (quadricep) - Questionable
- WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) - Questionable
- LB Fred Warner (ankle) - OUT
- LB Dee Winters (ankle) - Questionable
The 49ers will continue to monitor players listed on the injury report. Final decisions on gameday availability will be announced 90 minutes prior to kickoff in Seattle.
