49ers' Trent Williams and Ricky Pearsall miss practice, playoff status uncertain

San Francisco 49ers' Trent Williams and Ricky Pearsall missed practice Wednesday, raising doubts about their availability for the wild-card playoff against the Philadelphia Eagles

Signs to active roster The 49ers signed Kendricks from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday.

Impact Kendricks made a strong impression in his practice squad elevations, accumulating six tackles (three solo) over 46 defensive snaps and 39 special-teams snaps. The middle linebacker is set to start in Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Eagles. If Kendricks can sustain the defense for a few weeks, the hope is Fred Warner (ankle) could return to finish a deep playoff run.

In line for larger role Kendricks has moved into the starting role at linebacker with Tatum Bethune out for the remainder of the season, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Kendricks was elevated to the active roster in late December and made his first appearance with the 49ers in Week 16, having six tackles (three solo) in three games. Bethune's addition to the injured players on San Francisco's defense leaves the team without Mykel Williams (knee - IR), Nick Bosa (knee - IR), Fred Warner (ankle - IR), and Dee Winters (ankle), who is questionable for the wild-card round matchup against the Eagles. The team hopes Kendricks can act as a bridge for a potential deep playoff run until Fred Warner is healthy, per David Lombardi of SFStandard.com.
