Sustains knee injury Flannigan-Fowles is questionable to return to Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Rams due to a knee injury.
Impact Flannigan-Fowles suffered his injury in the first half, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available later in the matchup. Dre Greenlaw (calf) also is questionable to return, so Azeez Al-Shaair and Mark Nzeocha should see increased playing time if both players remain sidelined.

Impact The 25-year-old linebacker has registered five tackles through six games this season, but he will get his first extended work of the 2021 campaign Sunday. Tyrell Adams will likely operate as the backup for all three linebacker spots on San Francisco's defense.

Clear of injury Flannigan-Fowles (hamstring) was not listed on San Francisco's injury report Thursday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Impact Flannigan-Fowles has been unable to suit up since Week 8 because of a lingering hamstring issue, but it looks like he is healthy enough to make his return to the lineup Week 13 against the Bills. There's no guarantee the 24-year-old will be active, however, as he's predominantly filled a special-teams role this season, fielding 84.9 percent of his overall snaps in that department.
