The Chicago Bears might have their toughest matchup of the 2025 season against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 17, but some news dropped that could change the outlook of the game.
ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter reported that a source told him 49ers star tight end George Kittle is "doubtful" to play in the game. Schefter did later share, though, that wide receiver Ricky Pearsall is likely to play against the Bears.
Kittle suffered a sprained ankle in the win against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 16 and was listed as questionable for the Bears' match.
