The San Francisco 49ers will take on the Chicago Bears on Sunday night at Levi’s Stadium in a key NFC battle that could change seeding in the final two weeks of the regular season.
While the 49ers entered the weekend with wide receiver Ricky Pearsall listed as questionable, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Sunday morning that the 25-year-old “could play.”

Pearsall had his best game since returning from injury in Week 15 against the Tennessee Titans, catching six passes for 96 yards, but a knee injury sidelined him in Week 16.
If he plays, he will give Brock Purdy another weapon to target on Sunday as the 49ers look to continue their pursuit of the top seed in the division and conference from the Seattle Seahawks.
