While Brock Purdy, George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey are all ready to play after dealing with injuries at times this season, the same cannot be said for Trent Williams and Ricky Pearsall.
As Underdog NFL shared, Pesol and Williams both have the same title during the Eagles’ playoff run. The 49ers’ key offensive tackle and No. 2 wide receiver are questionable in the wild-card round.

The 49ers got some good news, with neither Pearsall nor Williams being ruled out. There’s still a chance they’ll miss this game, but now, they all have a chance to play.
While Williams may be the 49ers’ higher priority to return, Pearsall’s return would be huge news.

Jauan Jennings has been outstanding this season, but with Brandon Aiyuk’s season coming to an end, the 49ers have limited receiver room behind Jennings and Pearsall.
Kendrick Bourne and DeMarcus Robinson aren’t bad depth options, but asking them to be the team’s No. 2 receivers against the Eagles’ pass defense is a tall order.

Pearsall’s return will make a huge difference, as will Williams. More information will be announced on Saturday as the roster will be announced, with inactive players announced on game day. Currently, both men’s wild card matchups are in doubt.
