Fred Warner out, Ricky Pearsall questionable for Seahawks match

The The San Francisco 49ers were hoping for the return of Fred Warner how they prepared for their playoff game against the Seahawks. However, Warner is out, and Ricky Pearsall is questionable for Divisional Round match, according to a post on X by Diana Rusini.

“Fred Warner *will* not be activated for Saturday’s game, #49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said.
Out: S Ji’Aiir Brown (hamstring)
Questionable: VR Ricky Pearsall (knee), LB Luke Gifford (quad), LB Dee Winters (ankle)”

It’s a blow to the injury-riddled 49ers. Getting Warner back in the lineup could have been a big boost against the Seahawks.

The 49ers can’t get past their injury woes

However, head coach Kyle Shanahan said it is happy with the guys which they filled, according to 49ers.com.

“(Marques) Sigle showed us at the beginning of the year and we see him in practice every day,” Shanahan said. “We never knew when (the opportunity) was going to come to him. And right when Teague (S JiAiir Brown) went down, he was ready. And he played as good as it felt live. (Eric) Kendricks was a different story, he just came off the street, he was at home.

“All those guys played at such a high level (against the Eagles), and that’s what we need. We had a lot of guys hurt, so guys have to come in and step up.”

Still, the mindset is to just go and win the playoffs. Even a short turnaround doesn’t play into it, Shanahan said.

“When you get to the playoffs, it really doesn’t matter,” he said. “Everybody’s in it. So whether they give us three days, one day, eight days, you always have your preferences for common sense reasons, but whenever you get a hand, you’re ready to play.”

The 49ers are a touchdown underdog. And a big part of that is the injury situation. But they went on the road and beat the Eagles, even when George Kittle was injured during the game. So there is still hope.
