Goes on IR due to calf injury
Flannigan-Fowles (calf) was placed on the 49ers' injured reserve Saturday Flannigan-Fowles was already ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Cardinals due to a calf injury he suffered against the Lions in Week 17. His placement on IR, along with Spencer Burford (calf), makes room on the 49ers' active roster for Alex Barrett and DaShaun White, who were both signed off the practice squad Saturday. Flannigan-Fowles mostly played on special teams and will finish his fifth year in the NFL with 17 tackles (10 solo) and two pass defenses (including one interception) across 12 regular-season games.
Likely out for Week 18
Flannigan-Fowles (calf) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports. The Arizona product sustained a calf injury in the 49ers' Week 17 loss to the Lions and didn't practice all week, so it's no surprise he's expected to be sidelined Sunday. Flannigan-Fowles has appeared in 12 games for San Francisco this season, recording 17 total tackles and two passes defended, including one interception, across 146 defensive snaps. If he's unable to play in the Week 18 divisional matchup as expected, Jalen Graham will likely see more snaps with the Niners' first-team defense.
Managing calf issue
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.
Clear to return Thursday
Flannigan-Fowles (knee) doesn't have an injury status for Thursday's Week 15 tilt against the Rams. Flannigan-Fowles sat out each of San Francisco's past two contests due to a knee injury, but he appears set to return Thursday after logging an LP/LP/FP practice progression this week. It's not clear how much he'll play against Los Angeles, though, since Flannigan-Fowles didn't log any defensive snaps in any of his past five contests.
Inactive Sunday
Flannigan-Fowles (knee) is listed as inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Bears. Flannigan-Fowles drew a questionable designation prior to Sunday's game due to a knee injury. He was seemingly trending in the right direction after he upgraded from a DNP Wednesday to a limited practice session Thursday. As a result, look for him to take on his usual workload at linebacker.
Questionable for Week 14
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.
Unavailable for Week 13
Flannigan-Fowles (knee) is inactive for Sunday night's contest against the Bills, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official website reports. Flannigan-Fowles suffered a knee injury in Week 12 versus the Packers and he'll now be forced to miss at least one contest as a result. In his absence, Dee Winters stands to see an increase in workload at strong-side linebacker versus Buffalo.
Iffy to suit up in Week 13
Flannigan-Fowles is questionable to play Sunday against the Bills due to a knee injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. Flannigan-Fowles hurt his knee in the third quarter of Sunday's loss to Green Bay and was unable to return to the contest. He missed San Francisco's first two practices of the week but was able to log a limited session Friday, giving himself a chance to suit up against Buffalo. If Flannigan-Fowles is unable to suit up, Dee Winters could see increased defensive snaps.
Won't return Sunday
Flannigan-Fowles (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Packers, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports. Flannigan-Fowles will not return to Sunday's game after injuring his knee in the third quarter. Dee Winters will fill in for Flannigan-Fowles at linebacker alongside Fred Warner and De'Vondre Campbell.
