Klay Kubiak

SF Offensive Coordinator

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Raiders will interview with 49ers OC Klay Kubiak for their head-coaching vacancy on Sunday.

Only two days ago, Kubiak had zero reported interview invites. Now he is slated to interview for both the Steelers and Raiders’ head-coaching vacancies. Good for him. Kubiak’s offense has helped propel the 49ers into the Divisional Round, with the defense’s front-seven being hampered by injuries.
Robert Saleh

SF Defensive Coordinator

Dolphins completed an interview with 49ers DC Robert Saleh for their head-coaching vacancy.

The Dolphins have been busy today. They completed an interview with Chargers DC Jesse Minter for the same role just a few hours ago. Saleh, similarly, is scheduled to interview for the Cardinals’ head-coaching vacancy later tonight, after helping the 49ers’ defense navigate their way through an injury-impacted ongoing season.
Robert Saleh

SF Defensive Coordinator

Cardinals will interview 49ers DC Robert Saleh for their head-coaching vacancy tonight.

The 49ers currently list six combined linebackers and defensive linemen on injured reserve, including defensive stars Fred Warner and Nick Bosa. Saleh has helped keep the 49ers’ Super Bowl aspirations intact in his first season back with his old team despite the personnel losses. His successes have earned him head-coaching interview requests with four different teams. Good for him.
Klay Kubiak

SF Offensive Coordinator

Steelers requested an interview with 49ers OC Klay Kubiak for their head-coaching vacancy.

This is Kubiak’s first reported invitation to interview for a new role of any kind. Good for him. The 49ers’ offense is averaging 5.5 yards per play as it heads into a matchup against the division-rival Seahawks this weekend. The unit continues to perform very well despite missing key players for multi-game stints throughout the year.
George Kittle

SF Tight End #85

49ers TE George Kittle underwent surgery to repair his ruptured Achilles tendon and it “went very well.”

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan adds that Kittle “is in good spirits,” post-op. That is good to hear. Kittle, 32, ruptured his Achilles tendon in San Francisco’s Wild Card win over the Eagles. He is under contract through 2029, having signed a four-year extension in April 2025. The procedure was notably performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache.
Ricky Pearsall

SF Wide Receiver #1

49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) is questionable for San Francisco’s Divisional Round game against the Seahawks

Pearsall has been practicing in a limited capacity this week. He was entirely unable to practice last week, so the increased participation is a positive sign. Pearsall aggravated the PCL sprain in his knee at the end of a 30-yard play against the Bears in Week 18. He told reporters that he “landed straight on [his] knee,” and he “just can’t take tackles like that right now.” Instead, he must “adjust a little bit within [his] game.” Getting out of bounds would have been the “wiser move.” Pearsall is seemingly on track to play, but he may be stuck running vertical routes along the sideline.
Robert Saleh

SF Defensive Coordinator

Titans requested an interview with 49ers DC Robert Saleh for their head-coaching vacancy.

He’ll interview Sunday, per Ian Rapoport. Saleh has drawn requests from Miami, Baltimore, and Arizona this offseason. The 49ers DC has done an admirable job holding down the fort this year while missing stars Fred Warner and Nick Bosa for most of the season. For the Titans, he is one of 19 different interviews they’ve conducted so far. They’ll move past the initial round after this one and try to nail down a list of finalists.
Ricky Pearsall

SF Wide Receiver #1

49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Pearsall is listed as limited for the second straight day to start the week. He missed the 49ers’ Wild Card win over the Eagles and has dealt with knee issues throughout the season. Thursday’s final practice report will give a more concrete answer but Pearsall is at least practicing and trending to return in the Divisional Round against the Seahawks.
Ricky Pearsall

SF Wide Receiver #1

49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) is “optimistic” about playing in the Divisional Round against the Seahawks.

The San Francisco Standard’s David Lombardi adds that Pearsall “plans to operate at full speed during practice today.” Lombardi’s wording is tricky to parse. The 49ers used GPS tracking to determine whether Pearsall had returned to form before allowing him to resume playing earlier this year. Lombardi could be referencing this, or whether Pearsall is restricted in his practice participation level. We will check back later today. Stay tuned.
Darrick Forrest

SF Safety #49

49ers signed S Darrick Forrest, formerly of the Steelers.

Forrest spent time on the Bills, Colts and Steelers’ practice squads this season. He was on the Commanders’ roster from 2021-2024, posting career-bests in pass break-ups (five), interceptions (four) and tackles (66) in 2022. The 49ers also signed TE Hayden Rucci to the practice squad, released WR Javon Baker and signed WR Colton Dowell to a reserve/future contract.
