- Dee Winters: Linebacker, ankle injury.
- Luke Gifford: Linebacker, quadriceps.
- Jacob Cowing: Wide receiver, hamstring injury.
Pearsall, Winters, and Cowing practiced in a limited capacity throughout the week. Gifford returned to limited practice on Thursday, having missed the early practices this week.
Offensive Line Status
In positive news, tackle Trent Williams has shown improvement. He participated fully in practices on both Wednesday and Thursday, and he does not carry any injury designation going into the game.
With the 49ers and Seahawks set to clash on Saturday afternoon, both teams are preparing intensively. The outcome of this game will determine who moves forward to the NFC Championship Game.
