The Bears will see a San Francisco 49ers team on Sunday that looks mostly intact on paper — but with one massive question mark looming over the middle of their offense.
The 49ers released their updated Week 17 injury report on Thursday. While the media wasn’t present due to the Christmas holiday, the information coming out of Santa Clara reads like a team trying to hold its roster together for one final push.
George Kittle has now missed two straight practices with the ankle injury he suffered Monday night against the Colts. For an offense that funnels so much of its early-down timing, play-action deception, and middle-of-field manipulation through its All-Pro tight end, this is not a small development.
Beyond that, the Thursday update mostly confirmed what had been expected earlier in the week. First-round wideout Ricky Pearsall returned to the practice field in a limited capacity as he works through knee and ankle issues after missing Week 16 entirely. Cornerback Renardo Green — who was inactive versus Indianapolis — also logged limited work as he attempts to return from a neck injury.
The 49ers did get several key players back after rest days, headlined by Trent Williams and Christian McCaffrey, both of whom were full participants after their customary veteran maintenance. Defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos, who sat out Wednesday, returned on a limited basis.
In other words, the top-tier stars are trending toward playing — but the Bears may catch a break if Kittle remains unavailable or limited.

The Bears will get a better sense of Kittle’s availability on Friday.
