Pearsall was having his best game since returning from injury in Week 15 against the Tennessee Titans, catching six passes for 96 yards, but the knee injury kept him out in Week 16.
If he plays, he will give Brock Purdy another weapon to target on Sunday as the 49ers look to stay the course to steal first place in the division and conference from the Seattle Seahawks.
