49ers tight end George Kittle, who sprained his ankle, did not practice this week and is reportedly “highly unlikely” to play in Sunday night’s game against the Bears, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Luke Farrell and Jake Tonges are available as backup tight ends, with Brayden Willis elevated from the practice squad. Wide receiver Ricky Pearsall, listed as questionable with knee and ankle injuries, is expected to play. The game is crucial for the 49ers’ playoff positioning, as a win could secure them the No. 1 seed in the NFC.
