The San Francisco 49ers have a few injury concerns ahead of their wild-card game against the Philadelphia Eagles, one of which is wide receiver Ricky Pearsall.
Pearsall, who has been in and out of the lineup all season long, is dealing with a knee injury that kept him from playing in Week 18.
This week, the second-year wide receiver did not practice at all before drawing the questionable tag for Sunday's contest versus the Eagles.
Here's the latest update on his chances of playing in the crucial playoff game.
Is Ricky Pearsall playing today?
Pearsall's status remains up in the air, as FOX Sports' Jay Glazer reports he will be a true game-time decision on Sunday.
However, it wasn't great news for his status when the 49ers elevated wide receiver Malik Turner from the practice squad, which is a sign that San Francisco is, at the very least, bracing for Pearsall to possibly sit out.
We'll get final confirmation on Pearsall's status an hour and a half before the 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff on Sunday, when the 49ers release their inactives.
When Pearsall has been on the field, he has been quite effective, tallying 36 catches for 528 yards in nine games. Pearsall has four contests with 85 yards or more, including two north of the century mark.
If Pearsall doesn't play, the 49ers will need more out of fellow wideouts Jauan Jennings, Demarcus Robinson and Kendrick Bourne.
