The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Divisional Round playoff contest against the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday at Lumen Field in Seattle, Washington. Both teams have released their official injury reports, which are provided below.
San Francisco 49ers
Out- S Ji'Ayir Brown (hamstring)
- LB Fred Warner (ankle)
- WR Jacob Cowing (hamstring)
- LB Luke Gifford (quadricep)
- WR Ricky Pearsall (knee)
- LB Dee Winters (ankle)
Seattle Seahawks

Injury Notes
The most notable absence from Thursday's practice was linebacker Fred Warner. He was a limited participant on Wednesday as he continues his recovery from the dislocated and fractured right ankle he suffered in October. However, the 49ers have ruled him out for the Seahawks game. If he returns, it would likely be in the NFC Championship Game—assuming San Francisco advances this weekend.
This might dampen the Fred-in-Seattle vibe, but he doesn't appear to be practicing today. Luke Gifford (quad) was on hand at the start of practice. Not seen: Ji'Ayir Brown, Yetur Gross-Matos pic.twitter.com/XS7tmJiASH

Additionally, safety Ji'Ayir Brown and defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos also did not practice.
Meanwhile, the 49ers' two inactive linebackers from the Wild Card win over the Philadelphia Eagles, Dee Winters and Luke Gifford, practiced on Thursday. Gifford had been a non-participant on Wednesday.
Wide receiver Ricky Pearsall continues to practice this week as he works toward returning after missing the last two games. He is among the players who are questionable for Saturday.
