Pearsall was banged up during Sunday's win over the Tennessee Titans, first suffering an ankle injury before aggravating a prior PCL injury. Despite the setback, head coach Kyle Shanahan said there is still a chance the second-year wideout could be available for Monday night's game against the Indianapolis Colts.
"He's doing a lot better today than he was on Monday, and the extra day will help," Shanahan said. "So, he's got a shot."
49ers players not practicing Thursday
- OL Spencer Burford (knee, ankle)
- DT Jordan Elliott (knee)
- LB Nick Martin (concussion)
- WR Ricky Pearsall (knee, ankle)
Shanahan added that Martin is still experiencing symptoms from the concussion he suffered on November 30 against the Cleveland Browns and remains in the league's concussion protocol.
49ers limited practice participants
- LB Tatum Bethune (ankle)
- CB Renardo Green (neck)
