The San Francisco 49ers’ final injury report is out. The only player ruled out who has played all season is cornerback Renardo Green, who has a neck injury. He will miss his second game in a row. Kyle Shanahan said Green made strides this week, but not enough to play in time for Sunday.
That means Darrell Luter will make his third start of the season in place of Green. Last week, Green allowed three receptions on three targets for 42 yards and a touchdown. He also had a pass breakup and should have had another if not for a terrible defensive pass interference call.
The Chicago Bears won’t have their X receiver, Rome Odunze, but will get back rookie wideout Luther Burden. We will see how Ben Johnson attacks the 49ers’ cornerbacks.
George Kittle (ankle) and Ricky Pearsall (ankle/knee) are both listed as questionable. Shanahan said Pearsall made it through the week of practice OK.
As for Kittle, Shanahan said the team will take his injury as close to game time as possible to decide whether he can play. However, Kittle said he should know by Saturday whether he can play. The 49ers’ practice squad elevations should give us a hint about Kittle’s availability.
The only other player on the injury report is quarterback Kurtis Rourke, who was ruled out.
