INJURIES

Ricky Pearsall - Makes NFL debut Sunday Pearsall (chest) made his pro debut in Sunday's 28-18 loss to the Chiefs, grabbing three receptions for 21 yards off of five targets in Sunday's 28-18 loss to the Chiefs.
Impact Pearsall triumphantly made his NFL debut after suffering a natural injury to his left shoulder this preseason and then surviving a gunshot wound to the other shoulder from an off-field incident. The 2024 first-round selection saw his usage increase in the second half after starter Brandon Aiyuk went down with what is being feared as an ACL tear in the loss. Pearsall still has to make up for lost time before being fully integrated into head coach Kyle Shanahan's offense, but the rookie is certainly worth a look if Aiyuk's injury proves to be serious ahead of next Sunday's tilt against Dallas.

Russell Wilson flashes vintage form, and what else we learned in Week 7
Isaac Guerendo - Takes back seat with starter active Guerendo rushed once for two yards and caught his only target for five yards in Sunday's 28-18 loss to Kansas City.
Impact Guerendo was coming off of his best game as a pro last week (10-99-0), but the rookie took a back seat to Jordan Mason (shoulder) who was able to suit up after suffering a sprained AC joint against the Seahawks in Week 6. The 24-year-old Guerendo saw just two touches when the dust settled from Sunday's loss, fumbling on his lone carry despite not losing possession. With Mason handling his usual workload and Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) nearing a return, it appears that Guerendo can safely be returned to the waiver wire ahead of next Sunday's tilt against the Cowboys.

George Kittle - Leads banged-up receiving crew Kittle corralled six of seven targets for 92 yards in Sunday's 28-18 loss to the Chiefs.
Impact Kittle finished as the 49ers' leading receiver after both Deebo Samuel (illness) and Brandon Aiyuk (knee) exited Sunday's contest early. The 30-year-old Kittle wasn't able to extend his touchdown streak to five games in the loss, but he finished with his highest yardage total of the season. San Francisco may have to lean on its star tight end even more down the stretch if Aiyuk's MRI results reveal a torn ACL like the team fears he suffered. Either way, Kittle remains a top fantasy option heading into a Week 8 matchup against Dallas.

Jordan Mason - Not limited by shoulder injury Mason rushed 14 times for 58 yards and caught both of his targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 28-18 loss to the Chiefs.
Impact Mason suffered a sprained AC joint in the 49ers' win over the Seahawks on Oct. 9, but the extended rest between that contest and Sunday's allowed San Francisco's starting tailback to suit up without restrictions against the Chiefs. The 25-year-old averaged 4.1 yards per carry in the loss, falling victim to a poor game script en route to a modest fantasy line. Quarterback Brock Purdy vultured both of San Francisco's rushing scores Sunday, but Mason operated as the primary back with backup Isaac Guerendo receiving just one carry in the loss. Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) is nearing a return from injury, so make sure to monitor the superstar's status ahead of next Sunday's tilt against the Cowboys, as his return would effectively eliminate Mason's massive fantasy value. For now, we will assume the latter will lead San Francisco's rushing attack against Dallas in Week 8.

Brock Purdy - Stymied in Super Bowl rematch Purdy completed 17 of 31 pass attempts for 212 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions while adding eight carries for 27 yards and two rushing scores in Sunday's 28-18 loss to...
Impact Both starting quarterbacks in Sunday's Super Bowl LVIII rematch struggled passing the ball against tough opposing defenses, combining for no touchdown passes and five interceptions. Patrick Mahomes wound up earning the victory for his team, but Purdy had the superior fantasy day with two trips to the end zone as a rusher. The latter also lost his top two receivers to injury at halftime, which helps excuse the horrific passing performance. Purdy was coming off of his best statistical game of the season in Week 6, so fantasy managers shouldn't panic ahead of a much softer matchup against the Cowboys next Sunday.

Jauan Jennings - Chance to play Week 8 Coach Kyle Shanahan said after Sunday's 28-18 loss to the Chiefs that the 49ers hope to get Jennings (hip) back for Week 8 against the Cowboys, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports...
Impact Jennings didn't practice in any capacity prior to sitting out Sunday's loss, but the team's optimism regarding his Week 8 status suggests Jennings isn't looking at an extended absence. That may not be the case for fellow 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (knee), who is feared to have suffered a season-ending ACL tear against Kansas City. Jennings has proven capable of stepping up when the 49ers are shorthanded at wide receiver, as he had 175 receiving yards and three touchdowns in Week 3.

Brandon Aiyuk - Team fears torn ACL Coach Kyle Shanahan said after Sunday's 28-18 loss to the Chiefs that the 49ers are worried that Aiyuk tore his ACL, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Aiyuk exited due to a second-quarter knee injury. If further testing confirms a torn ACL, the injury would be season-ending. Aiyuk had two catches for 23 yards on six targets prior to getting hurt Sunday, bringing his season totals to 25 catches for 374 yards.

Deebo Samuel Sr. - Out with illness Samuel has been ruled out of Sunday's contest versus the Chiefs due to an illness, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Prior to Sunday's kickoff, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reported that Samuel was dealing with an illness but was expected to attempt to play through it. However, after only a sprinkling of snaps early in the contest, Samuel remained on the sideline and eventually walked to the locker room slowly in the second quarter. After halftime, Samuel, along with Brandon Aiyuk (knee), were ruled out, leaving Chris Conley, Ricky Pearsall, Jacob Cowing and Ronnie Bell as the 49ers' available healthy wide receivers with Jauan Jennings (hip) inactive.

Brandon Aiyuk - Injures knee, ruled out Sunday Aiyuk won't return to Sunday's contest against the Chiefs due to a knee injury, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact Aiyuk picked up the health concern at the end of a 15-yard catch late in the second quarter. He was able to get to the sideline under his own power, but after visiting the sideline tent, he was carted to the locker at the start of halftime, pointing at his right knee in the process, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. With Jauan Jennings (inactive) and Deebo Samuel (illness) questionable to return, Chris Conley, Ricky Pearsall, Jacob Cowing and Ronnie Bell are the 49ers' current healthy wide receivers.

Brandon Aiyuk - Carted to locker room Aiyuk went to the locker room on a cart due to an undisclosed injury at halftime of Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Aiyuk remained on the turf after a 15-yard catch late in the second quarter, and while he was able to the sideline under his own power, he required assistance to reach the locker room. With Deebo Samuel dealing with an illness and barely seeing the field Sunday and Jauan Jennings (hip) active, the 49ers may have to play the rest of Week 7 with Chris Conley, Ricky Pearsall, Jacob Cowing and Ronnie Bell at wide receiver.
