The San Francisco 49ers listed defensive lineman Kentavius Street as questionable on Friday's injury report due to an illness. The team is scheduled to play the Seattle Seahawks this afternoon. Then on Saturday, he was downgraded to doubtful, indicating that he was unlikely to play.
On Sunday morning, the 49ers upgraded Street back to questionable, which makes it more likely he will be suited up and ready to play against the Seahawks, if needed.
While Street's illness is not COVID-19-related, the defensive lineman still needed to pass multiple tests to be cleared to play. The final test results were reportedly received on Saturday, but after the team departed for its game.
"Hopefully, we'll get him out there," head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters on Friday. "I don't know if it's going to work out to fly with the team or anything like that, so we'll have to figure it out because I don't know when the test gets back. I'm sure it'll get back after we've already left, but if he has no symptoms tomorrow and he passes his second test, then he'll be allowed to play on Sunday."
Shanahan was asked what special travel arrangements might be necessary to ensure Street could join the team, should his test results allow him to do so.
"I think it's too far to drive, so I don't think he could get there, and I don't know the exact rules over that," Shanahan responded. "I just know he can't fly with us until we get the test results back. So, I'm sure he can fly with someone, but I'm sure we'd have to get him a plane or something like that."
The 49ers and Seahawks are scheduled to kick off at 1:25 p.m. PT from CenturyLink Field.
