Not practicing Wednesday White (hamstring) won't participate in practice Wednesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact White likely tweaked his hamstring in the 49ers' loss to the Seahawks in Week 18, though it's unclear when the injury would have occurred as the 26-year-old maintained his usual snap share (39 on defense and five on special teams). The third-year pro will need to upgrade to limited or full participation in practice through the rest of the week to have a chance at playing in the wild-card matchup against the Eagles.

What's Next: 5 Best HC Candidates for Ravens to Maximize Lamar Jackson’s Window

Not practicing Wednesday Winters (ankle) did not practice in Wednesday's session, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact Winters sustained an ankle injury in last Saturday's loss to the Seahawks, and the weakside linebacker's playoff status is now in jeopardy. The 25-year-old will have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation in an attempt to dodge any injury designation ahead of Sunday's playoff game against the Eagles. If Winters cannot suit up, the 49ers' linebacker corps, which typically consists of eight players, will be down to just four at most. Linebacker is the most likely position to be elevated from the practice squad for the 49ers on Saturday.

Unable to practice Wednesday Williams (hamstring) won't participate in practice Wednesday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

Impact Williams missed San Francisco's season finale against Seattle with a hamstring injury that he suffered in Week 17. The 37-year-old needs to upgrade to limited or full participation in practice Thursday or Friday to have a chance at playing in a crucial wild-card round matchup against the Eagles.

Returning from IR The 49ers designated Cowing (hamstring) to return from injured reserve Wednesday.

Impact Cowing has not played a snap in the 2025 season due to the hamstring injury he suffered during training camp. The wide receiver's return for the wild-card matchup with the Eagles would be a great depth addition to a corps that could be without No. 2 wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (PCL). Cowing will have three days to increase his practice participation and prove he is ready to suit up for Sunday's contest.

Moved to IR The 49ers moved Bethune (groin) to injured reserve Wednesday.

Impact Bethune suffered a groin injury late into the 49ers' Week 18 loss to the Seahawks. The injury has proven to be season-ending, and the team will now grow even thinner at linebacker as they enter the playoffs. The recent signing of Eric Kendricks to the active roster will hopefully be enough to sustain the team until it can potentially regain the help of All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner (ankle).

Won't practice Wednesday San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Pearsall (knee) will not practice Wednesday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

Impact Pearsall missed the 49ers' regular-season finale against the Seahawks in Week 18 due to the lingering PCL sprain in his right knee, and it appears his status is still uncertain heading into Sunday's wild-card round matchup against the Eagles. The second-year wideout will have two more chances to retake the practice field prior to Sunday's matchup. If Pearsall is unavailable, Demarcus Robinson and Kendrick Bourne will again handle increased opportunities behind Jauan Jennings.

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.
