Sidelined 6-to-8 weeks 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Al-Shaair will miss 6-to-8 weeks with a sprained MCL, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact Al-Shaair will likely sit out until at least Week 12 after sustaining a sprained MCL during San Francisco's loss to Seattle on Sunday. The fourth-year linebacker recorded 102 tackles, two sacks, five passes defended, one interception and two fumble recoveries over 13 games last season. Al-Shaair also tallied 11 tackles while playing just 65 defensive snaps from Weeks 1 through 3, and his absence will leave San Francisco's linebacker corps with an important role to fill moving forward.

Diagnosed with MCL sprain Al-Shaair sustained an MCL sprain during the 49ers' 11-10 loss to the Broncos on Sunday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact Al-Shaair exited Sunday's matchup in the second quarter, and it seems possible that he'll be forced to miss additional time following his diagnosis. Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles handled additional work down the stretch for the 49ers and will likely continue to see increased playing time if Al-Shaair is sidelined.

Dealing with knee injury Al-Shaair won't return to Sunday's game against the Broncos due to a knee injury, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact Al-Shaair sustained a knee injury in the second quarter and was ruled out by the team at halftime. Prior to his departure, he led the team with five tackles (two solo). Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles should continue to fill in for Al-Shaair for the remainder of the game.

Has the okay for camp Coach Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday that Al-Shaair (shoulder) has been cleared to participate in training camp, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact Shanahan did qualify that Al-Shaair would be brought along slowly, but it's good news either way for the fourth-year linebacker out of Florida Atlantic. He saw 13 starts and registered 102 tackles in 2021, so he should be considered very likely to start next to Fred Warner in 2022.

Not ready for OTAs Al-Shaair (shoulder) is running on the sidelines but not participating in OTAs, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
Impact Al-Shaair had shoulder and knee surgery earlier in the offseason and has yet to recover enough to take part in OTAs. The three-year pro had a breakout season in 2021, recording 100 tackles, two sacks and five passes defended while also forcing one fumble, recovering two others and intercepting one pass. He should be recovered in time to fully participate in training camp, and be an integral part of the 49ers' linebacker unit in 2022.

Signs new deal Al-Shaair signed his restricted free-agent tender Monday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Al-Shaair had a breakout 2021 campaign, recording 102 tackles (58 solo), two sacks, five passes defensed, an interception, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries. All of which matched or became career highs. The 24-year-old went undrafted out of Florida Atlantic and spent the majority of the previous two seasons contributing on special teams. Al-Shaair will look to build on his 2021 success next season.

Receives second-round tender Al-Shaair, a restricted free agent, received a second-round contract tender from the 49ers on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Impact Any interested teams will now need to surrender a second-round pick in order to sign Al-Shaair. The 2019 UDFA out of Florida Atlantic saw most of his action on special teams across his first two NFL seasons, but he took a major step forward last season and totaled 102 tackles (58 solo), two sacks, one interception and one forced fumble in 13 games.

Practices fully Wednesday Al-Shaair (knee) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Al-Shaair was limited at Tuesday's practice but had no limitations at Wednesday's session. He sat out the final two games of the regular season but returned for the playoff win over Dallas and had five tackles (three solo) while playing 54 percent of the defensive snaps.

Logs limited practice Al-Shaair (knee) logged a limited practice Tuesday, Kelana Martin of the 49ers' official site reports.
Impact Al-Shaair missed the last two games of the season for San Francisco before returning for their wild-card win over the Cowboys on Sunday. However, he did play a season-low 54 percent of the snaps. Whether his limited practice was more of a maintenance decision or he's truly in jeopardy of missing Saturday's divisional-round game with the Packers remains to be seen. His practice level will be worth monitoring as this week progresses.
