• 49ers' Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles: Managing calf issue

  Rotowire Dec 31, 2024

  Flannigan-Fowles is considered day-to-day due to a calf injury, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. Flannigan-Fowles appears to have picked up the injury in Monday's Week 17 loss to Detroit. The 28-year-old logged 15 defensive snaps in the contest, finishing with a pair of tackles. Given his status as day-to-day, Flannigan-Fowles has some risk of missing Sunday's season finale against the Cardinals.

• 49ers' Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles: Questionable for Week 14

  Rotowire Dec 6, 2024

  Flannigan-Fowles (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. The 28-year-old linebacker from Arizona upgraded from a DNP on Wednesday to a limited session Thursday, suggesting he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's contest. However, if Flannigan-Fowles can't play through his knee injury in Week 14, Dee Winters will likely see increased snaps with the 49ers' first-team defense.

• 49ers' Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles: Iffy to suit up in Week 13

  Rotowire Nov 29, 2024

  Flannigan-Fowles (calf) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Flannigan-Fowles' participation Wednesday follows him being seen on the practice field during Monday's bonus session.

If Flannigan-Fowles does return Sunday, Dee Winters could see fewer defensive snaps.

  Rotowire Dec 3, 2020

  Flannigan-Fowles (hamstring) was not listed on San Francisco's injury report Thursday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. Flannigan-Fowles has been unable to suit up since Week 8 because of a lingering hamstring issue, but it looks like he is healthy enough to make his return to the lineup Week 13 against the Bills. There's no guarantee the 24-year-old will be active, however, as he's predominantly filled a special-teams role this season, fielding 84.9 percent of his overall snaps in that department.
