Ricky Pearsall Injury News & Updates

Pearsall finished with two receptions on four targets for six yards while taking one carry for two yards in Monday's 20-9 win over the Panthers.

Pearsall was held to single-digit yardage for the second consecutive appearance since returning from a six-game absence as the result of a knee injury. At least the 2024 first-round selection got more involved than he was in last week's one-catch, zero-yard outing, garnering three combined touches in the primetime win. It is worth noting that QB Brock Purdy was targeting Pearsall on two of his three interceptions Monday, with one of the passes attempting to connect in the end zone. It is hard to feel confident about the 24-year-old wideout following a pair of duds, but it would be shortsighted for fantasy managers to cut ties at this point. Pearsall possesses elite skills and remains a starter for a high-scoring offense, so better days are surely on the horizon.

Pearsall (knee) had one reception on three targets for no gain in Sunday's 41-22 win over the Cardinals.

Pearsall returned to the starting lineup after missing the 49ers' last five contests with a right knee injury. That's where the positive news ends after the sophomore wideout failed to gain a yard with his only touch Sunday. Jauan Jennings (5-54-0) was the only other wide receiver to finish with more targets than Pearsall, so the latter's lack of involvement was likely due to an unfavorable game script. QB Brock Purdy did take a deep shot at Pearsall on one of the duo's two missed connections, and the wideout showed his usual burst down the field despite the good defensive coverage. Pearsall averaged 5.0 receptions and 81.8 yards in the four games he appeared in prior to getting injured, so there is hope for improved results against the Panthers next Monday.

Pearsall (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Pearsall hasn't played in a game since Sept. 28 and was absent from practice for well over a month, but coach Kyle Shanahan's track record suggests the second-year wideout could jump right back into a significant workload. Unlike earlier this season, Pearsall will be part of an offense that has both Jauan Jennings and George Kittle healthy. Pearsall opened the season with 327 yards on 29 targets in less than four full games before suffering the PCL injury Week 4.

Pearsall (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Pearsall has maintained his activity level in his first two official practices since he suffered a PCL injury in his right knee Week 4. He also told Vic Tafur of The Athletic on Thursday that he's "feeling like myself" now, but it remains to be seen how he'll be listed, if at all, on the 49ers' final injury report of the week Friday ahead of Sunday's contest at Arizona. If Pearsall is able to suit up this weekend, he'll be working with normal starting signal-caller Brock Purdy (toe), who practiced fully Thursday before coach Kyle Shanahan announced on KNBR San Francisco that the QB was returning to action.

Pearsall (knee) is returning to practice Wednesday, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

Pearsall's participation level Wednesday remains undisclosed, but it will be encouraging to see him handling any amount of reps at all in his first on-field practice activity since suffering a PCL injury in his right knee Week 4. That said, Pearsall has managed to work on the side field on multiple occasions in recent weeks. It appears possible that both Pearsall and quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) could have a chance to retake the field Sunday on the road against Arizona, though full clarity on the status of both players may not arrive until after the 49ers have had an opportunity to evaluate them across a full week of practice.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Pearsall (knee) has a chance to practice Wednesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Pearsall hasn't practiced since initially suffering a PCL injury in his right knee Week 4, but he has worked out on the side on multiple occasions in recent weeks. Shanahan told Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com that "hopefully the next two days go good, and if they do, he'll be back out there. ... He had a good weekend." Wednesday's injury report not only will reveal if Pearsall was able to mix back into drills, but if No. 1 QB Brock Purdy (toe) has put himself in a position for his own first game action since Week 4.

Pearsall (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

He hasn't practiced for more than a month, still limited to side-field work with the training staff. Pearsall will miss a sixth consecutive game, leaving Jauan Jennings and Kendrick Bourne unchallenged as San Francisco's top two wide receivers.

Pearsall (knee) didn't practice Thursday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

However, Pearsall was able to run on the side for a second week in a row, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. With no on-field work to speak of so far this week, Pearsall seems hard-pressed to play Sunday versus the Rams, but a return to drills in some capacity Friday could set him on a course for his next game action Week 11 or beyond.

Pearsall (knee) isn't practicing Wednesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Pearsall would be evaluated mid-week, with the idea that he has some chance to return from a lengthy absence for Sunday's game against the Rams. It's unclear if Pearsall still has a shot to play after being held out of practice Wednesday.

Coach Kyle Shanahan noted Monday that Pearsall (knee) has a chance to play Sunday against the Rams, but will be evaluated mid-week, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Pearsall hasn't seen game action since Week 4, but the wideout appears to be inching closer to a return. Added context on that front will be arrive no later than Wednesday, when the 49ers post their first Week 10 injury report. With Brandon Aiyuk (knee) still not ready to have his practice window opened, the team's top healthy WRs are currently Jauan Jennings, Kendrick Bourne and Demarcus Robinson.

Pearsall (knee) won't play Sunday against the Giants, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

He's ruled out for a fifth straight game and still hasn't returned to practice, but reports this week at least pointed to progress with Pearsall's side work. His lack of participation in actual practices nonetheless hints at significant risk of missing time beyond Week 9.

Pearsall (knee) didn't take part in Thursday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

On a positive note, though, Pearsall ran quick routes and made cuts on a side field, seemingly testing the current state of his right knee and its lingering PCL injury. The 49ers may make a ruling on the second-year pro's availability for Sunday's game at the Giants as soon as Friday, but the 49ers' receiving corps again might be led by Jauan Jennings, Kendrick Bourne and Demarcus Robinson in Week 9.

Pearsall (knee) isn't practicing Wednesday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

He hasn't practiced or played since Week 4, and the 49ers haven't provided much information beyond listing him as such on the final injury report. They did elect not to place Pearsall on injured reserve, hinting at a week-to-week outlook even though he's now been out for more than a month. In any case, the continued absences from practice don't bode well for a Week 9 appearance this Sunday at the Giants.

Pearsall (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Houston, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Pearasall hasn't practiced since September and will now miss a fourth straight game. Meanwhile, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday that Brandon Aiyuk (ACL) may return to practice next week, per Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle. For now, Jauan Jennings and Kendrick Bourne are the starting wide receivers.

Pearsall (knee) didn't take part in Thursday's practice, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Pearsall missed the first two practices of Week 8 prep due to a lingering PCL injury in his right knee and now has only one more chance to mix into drills Friday before the 49ers potentially make a ruling on his status ahead of Sunday's game at Houston. If the 49ers rule him out, it'd mark his fourth absence in a row.

Pearsall (knee) will not participate in Wednesday's practice, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

Pearsall remains sidelined at practice after having missed San Francisco's last three games, and coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that the team will continue monitoring the second-year wideout before making a decision about his status for Sunday's game against the Texans. For any chance of retaking the field versus Houston, Pearsall will almost certainly have to practice in at least a limited fashion Thursday and/or Friday. If Pearsall remains sidelined Week 8, all of Demarcus Robinson, Malik Turner, Skyy Moore and Jordan Watkins will be candidates for increased workloads behind Jauan Jennings and Kendrick Bourne.

Coach Kyle Shanahan noted Monday that the 49ers will continue monitoring Pearsall (knee) ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Pearsall was unable to practice last week before being ruled out for the 49ers' Week 7 win over the Falcons. At this stage, the wideout's status for this weekend's game is cloudy, with added context regarding his chances of returning to the lineup set to arrive no later than Wednesday's injury report. In his absence versus Atlanta, Jauan Jennings and Kendrick Bourne led the team's WR corps, with Demarcus Robinson and Skyy Moore mixing in.

Pearsall (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

He didn't practice this week due to a PCL injury in his right knee and thus appears in serous danger of missing another game when the 49ers travel to Houston in Week 8. Jauan Jennings and Kendrick Bourne are San Francisco's top wide receivers with Pearsall out of action yet again.

Pearsall (knee) isn't practicing Friday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Pearsall is highly likely to miss another game after not practicing at all this week. There were reports last week about him doing work on a side field, but it's unclear if Pearsall has progressed since then.

Pearsall (knee) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Considering Pearsall has yet to practice in any capacity this week due to a PCL issue in his right knee, he seemingly is trending toward a third consecutive absence, something that may be confirmed on Friday's injury report. Fellow WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (calf) joined Pearsall as a DNP on Thursday, while Jauan Jennings (ankle/rib/shoulder), Skyy Moore (ankle) and Jordan Watkins (calf) all were limited. At the moment, Kendrick Bourne and Demarcus Robinson are the only healthy options at the position on the active roster.

San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan said Pearsall (knee) will not practice Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Shanahan said Monday that Pearsall would be evaluated Wednesday to determine his practice level for Week 7, so the 2024 first-round pick's lack of participation could be a sign that he isn't yet nearing a return to on-field reps. Meanwhile, QB Brock Purdy (toe), TE George Kittle (hamstring) and WR Jauan Jennings (ribs) all practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, and all three appear to have a chance at playing Sunday versus the Falcons. Kittle remains on IR for the time being, however, while Jennings played through five broken ribs during San Francisco's loss to the Buccaneers in Week 6.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Pearsall (knee) will be evaluated Wednesday to see if he'll be able to practice this week, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Pearsall has missed two weeks of practice since injuring the PCL in his right knee Week 4 against the Jaguars, but like QB Brock Purdy, the wide receiver resumed conditioning work on the side last Thursday, indicating that he's making progress in his recovery. Wednesday's practice report will reveal whether or not Pearsall was able to mix into drills, but the 49ers appear to be getting healthier, with Purdy and TE George Kittle (hamstring) all potentially returning to practice in the near future.

Pearsall (knee) may be able to return to action in Week 7 against Atlanta, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Pearsall will miss his second straight game Sunday versus Tampa Bay due to a lingering knee injury. However, Schefter suggests that the second-year wideout may be closing in on a return to action. If Pearsall does manage to get back on the field in Week 7, that would be a big boost to a San Francisco air attack that is still without TE George Kittle (hamstring) and QB Brock Purdy (toe), both of whom could also return Week 7. WR Jauan Jennings (knee) missed last Thursday's win against the Rams alongside Pearsall, but he's looking likely to play this Sunday, per Schefter.

Pearsall (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

Pearsall hasn't practiced since Week 4, when he played through a PCL injury but wasn't able to finish out a loss to the Jaguars. Fellow 49ers wideout Jauan Jennings (ankle) also missed Week 5 but could return this Sunday to face the Buccaneers (he's listed as questionable after practicing Thursday and Friday). Either way, Kendrick Bourne figures to get a lot of playing time again, with Demarcus Robinson and Marquez Valdes-Scantling also in the mix for routes.

Pearsall (knee) isn't practicing Friday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Pearsall hasn't practiced this week and isn't likely to play Sunday at Tampa Bay.

Pearsall (knee) was working on the side with a sleeve on his right leg during Thursday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Pearsall has yet to practice since picking up a minor PCL injury in his right knee during a Week 4 loss to the Jaguars, but GM John Lynch said Thursday that the second-year wide receiver "hasn't given up hope" on playing Sunday in Tampa Bay, per David Lombardi of SFStandard.com. In the end, though, Pearsall likely will need to mix into drills Friday to put himself in a position to do so.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Pearsall (knee) won't take part in practice Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Pearsall has been tending to a minor PCL injury in his right knee since making an early exit from the 49ers' Week 4 loss to the Jaguars. He's been a non-participant at practice since then, and Shanahan added that the 49ers are "not counting on" Pearsall being available for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, according to David Lombardi of SFStandard.com. Ultimately, Pearsall's fate for Week 6 action may become known as soon as the team posts Friday's practice report.

Pearsall (knee) is ruled out for Thursday's game against the Rams, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Pearsall will join fellow wideout Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs) and starting quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) on the sideline Week 5, leaving Mac Jones with the unenviable task of moving an offense that -- with George Kittle (hamstring, IR) and Brandon Aiyuk (ACL, PUP) also sidelined -- is missing all its top skill-position players aside from running back Christian McCaffery. Pearsall and company will work to get healthy in time to retake the field Sunday, Oct. 12 against the Buccaneers in Week 6.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan said that Pearsall (knee) won't participate in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Pearsall is one of three 49ers receivers who won't practice Tuesday, with Jauan Jennings (ankle/ribs) and Jordan Watkins (calf) also scheduled to sit out. The second-year wideout's absence from the walk-through session comes after general manager John Lynch suggested earlier Tuesday that Pearsall is being viewed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Rams. The 49ers will wait and see how Pearsall is feeling Wednesday before determining whether he'll take a designation into Thursday's contest, or if he'll end up being ruled out a day in advance of the game. Pearsall was limited to season lows in receiving yards (46) and snaps (37) in this past Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Jaguars after exiting the game with what Shanahan described as a minor PCL injury.

San Francisco general manager John Lynch said Tuesday that he expects Pearsall (knee) to be listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Rams, The Athletic reports.

Pearsall is on the mend from what the 49ers have labeled as a minor PCL injury to his right knee, which the second-year wideout sustained in the third quarter of Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Jaguars. He was sent in for further testing Monday and was listed as a non-participant on the team's estimated practice report later that day. The 49ers will hold a walk-through session Tuesday for their lone on-field workout for Week 5, and if Pearsall isn't able to take any reps, he could face an uphill battle to gain clearance for Thursday's game. Through the first four weeks of the season, Pearsall leads the 49ers in receiving yards (327) and ranks second to only running back Christian McCaffrey in catches (20) and targets (29).

Pearsall (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Pearsall dealt with a knee injury last week and was able to suit up Sunday versus the Jaguars, but while attempting to tap his feet in bounds down the left sideline in the third quarter, he was gimpy afterward and logged just one more play the rest of the way. He told David Lombardi of SFStandard.com afterward that he felt some discomfort and instability in his right knee, and coach Kyle Shanahan noted Monday that the 49ers believe the second-year wide receiver has just a "minor PCIL" injury, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. Position mate Jauan Jennings (ankle/ribs) also was listed as a DNP on Monday, so the pair will be monitored in the coming days to get a sense of their chances to suit up Thursday at the Rams.

San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that the team's initial belief is that Pearsall (knee) is dealing with a "minor PCL" injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Shanahan said Pearsall's injury "hopefully [...] won't be too bad" after the wideout was forced out of Sunday's loss to the Jaguars early, but he also mentioned that the short week of preparation ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Rams is "a totally different element," per David Lombardi of SFStandard.com. While there appears to be cause for optimism that Pearsall has avoided a severe injury, at this stage his status for Week 5 appears truly uncertain. With George Kittle (hamstring) still on IR until at least Week 6, the 49ers will have to rely on Kendrick Bourne, Demarcus Robinson, Skyy Moore and Marquez Valdes-Scantling as key receiving threats behind Jauan Jennings on Thursday Night Football if Pearsall isn't cleared to play.

Pearsall said he felt some pain and instability after he fell hard on his knee in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

Pearsall tried to gut through the injury but returned for just one play before deciding to shut things down for the remainder of the day during the second half of the Niners' eventual loss. San Francisco has a quick Week 5 turnaround ahead of Thursday night's upcoming divisional battle with the Rams in Los Angeles. If Pearsall can't get up for that one, the 49ers will again be relying on Kendrick Bourne to play significant offensive snaps alongside Jauan Jennings and Demarcus Robinson.

Pearsall (knee) returned to Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Pearsall missed about one quarter's worth of time in the second half due to a right knee injury, which may have been an aggravation of the knee issue that impacted his practice reps during Week 4 prep. In any case, He'll be looking to buil upon the 4-46-0 line on five targets that he compiled before his exit.

Pearsall sustained a right knee injury during Sunday's contest against the Jaguars, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

After attempting to haul in a Brock Purdy pass early in the third quarter down the left sideline, Pearsall was shaken up and spent some time in the blue medical tent before the 49ers deemed him questionable to return. At the end of the same drive, fellow WR Jauan Jennings appeared to injure his ribs as he gathered in a Purdy pass for a successful two-point conversion, so the statues of the team's top options at the position are up in the air in the middle of the second half.

Pearsall (knee) is listed as active Sunday against the Jaguars, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.

A knee injury hampered Pearsall in practice during Week 4 prep, resulting in a DNP on Wednesday and limited sessions Thursday and Friday. On Wednesday, the second-year pro told Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area that he'd play that day if there was a game, and now that Sunday has arrived, he'll be out there as he normally is for the 49ers offense. Considering fellow WR Jauan Jennings (ankle/shoulder) reportedly will have his snaps monitored, per Adam Schefter of ESPN, Pearsall is lined up to be Brock Purdy's (left shoulder/toe) top pass catcher in the quarterback's return to action.

Pearsall (knee) is slated to play Sunday versus the Jaguars, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Pearsall followed up Wednesday's absence from practice due to a knee injury with back-to-back limited sessions to cap Week 4 prep, leaving him questionable for Sunday's contest. Fellow WR Jauan Jennings (ankle/shoulder) also was listed as questionable, and while both players are expected to be available this weekend, Jennings likely will have his snaps monitored. As a result, Pearsall should serve as one of Brock Purdy's (left shoulder/toe) top targets in the quarterback's first game action since Week 1.

Pearsall (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Jaguars, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Pearsall didn't practice Wednesday due to a knee injury but was able to do so in a limited capacity one day later. Before that first session, he told Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area that he'd play if there was a game that day, but the 49ers seemingly are less optimistic about the second-year wide receiver's status for Week 4. In the end, Pearsall's availability will be confirmed, one way or another, about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

Pearsall (knee) was limited at practice Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Prior to sitting out Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury, Pearsall said that he'd be playing if there was a game, according to Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area. Pearsall's return to drills one day later sets him up to do just that Sunday versus the Jaguars, but he may still enter the weekend with a designation when the 49ers post their final Week 4 practice report Friday. If he's able to suit up, who between Brock Purdy (left shoulder/toe) and Mac Jones (knee) will be under center remains to be seen.

Pearsall (knee) participated in Thursday's practice, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

After logging a DNP on Wednesday, Pearsall's return to the field Thursday puts him on track to play Sunday against the Jaguars. Through three games, Pearsall is third in the NFL in receiving yards with a 16-281-0 line on 24 targets.

Pearsall will miss Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

Pearsall played 97 percent of snaps in a 16-15 win over the Cardinals this past Sunday, catching eight of 11 targets for 117 yards. He's now third in the league for both receiving yards (281) and air yards (392), having caught four of seven targets 20-plus yards downfield. There is some chance the usage declines if Jauan Jennings (shoulder/ankle) now ends up healthier than Pearsall, but Jennings will also miss Wednesday's practice (after sitting out Weeks 1 and 3). The 49ers don't lack for injury concerns ahead of their home game against Jacksonville this Sunday.

Pearsall racked up eight receptions on 11 targets for 117 yards in Sunday's 16-15 victory over the Cardinals.

Pearsall was the last man standing for the 49ers' starting passing offense with Brock Purdy (toe/shoulder), George Kittle (hamstring) and Jauan Jennings (ankle) all missing Sunday's tilt. The 24-year-old Pearsall was up to the task, finishing as the club's leading receiver while making several key drive-extending grabs. Expect Pearsall to continue spearheading San Francisco's depleted receiver room -- potentially with his starting QB back under center -- against the Jaguars next Sunday.

Pearsall caught four of six targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Saints. He also had minus-four yards on his only carry.

The second-year wideout couldn't repeat his big Week 1 performance with Mac Jones under center instead of Brock Purdy (toe/shoulder), but Pearsall still delivered solid production while finishing third on the 49ers in volume behind Jauan Jennings (10 targets) and Christian McCaffrey (seven). Purdy is expected to miss multiple weeks, but Pearsall's involvement in the passing game Sunday suggests there's little reason to downgrade his outlook while catching passes from Jones. Pearsall could be busy again in Week 3 against the Cardinals.

Pearsall brought in four of seven targets for 108 yards in Sunday's 17-13 win over Seattle.

Pearsall took on an expanded role after George Kittle (hamstring) and Jauan Jennings (shoulder) did not return from their respective injuries suffered in Sunday's victory. The 24-year-old Pearsall was up to the task, ripping off multiple big-chunk plays en route to his first 100-yard game of 2025. The University of Florida product was already expected to have a breakout season entering his second year, but he could be asked to do even more if either Kittle or Jennings is forced to miss time. Pearsall will attempt to build off of this promising start when the 49ers take on the Saints next Sunday.

Pearsall caught three of four targets for 42 yards in a 22-19 exhibition win against Las Vegas on Saturday.

All of Pearsall's action came on the 49ers' first drive, when he accounted for over half of his team's yardage. There has been plenty of talk about a potential Pearsall breakout campaign in his second NFL season, and that should only get louder after the University of Florida product displayed impressive chemistry with starting QB Brock Purdy during the pair's lone series together Saturday. It's worth noting, however, that neither Jauan Jennings (calf) nor Brandon Aiyuk (ACL) played Saturday -- when all three are healthy, Pearsall will likely face more competition for targets, and tight end George Kittle should again be a big factor in the 49ers' air attack as well.

Pearsall has impressed in recent practices and was a clear standout on offense Tuesday, with quarterback Brock Purdy on five targets, Nick Wagoner of ESPN reports.

Pearsall has been nearly uncoverable at recent training camp sessions, per Wagoner, with rookie cornerback Upton Stout named as one of the few players who's managed to challenge the second-year wideout. It's encouraging to see Pearsall already building momentum, given that a hamstring injury forced him to begin camp on the active/PUP list and had sidelined him during mandatory minicamp. With Jauan Jennings (calf) currently unable to practice and Brandon Aiyuk (ACL) without a clear timetable to return, Pearsall is currently operating as the 49ers' top wide receiver, with Demarcus Robinson and rookie fourth-round pick Jordan Watkins behind him.

The 49ers activated Pearsall (hamstring) from the active/PUP list Sunday.

Pearsall started training camp on the active/PUP list while dealing with a lingering hamstring injury, which had also kept him sidelined during mandatory minicamp. San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan expressed that the team was being overly cautious by holding the wideout out of practice -- both in OTAs and minicamp. This caution carried over into the start of training camp, and Pearsall is now set to return to practice Sunday. The 2024 first-rounder was solid in his injury-shortened rookie season, catching 31 of 46 targets for 400 yards and three scores over 11 regular-season games. The 49ers' top wideout, Brandon Aiyuk (knee), is still on PUP as he recovers from a torn ACL, which likely leaves Jauan Jennings, Pearsall, and Demarcus Robinson to round out the starting wide receiver group Week 1. However, Jennings has expressed frustration as he seeks an extension, and Robinson could be suspended before the regular season due to a DUI charge; so, Pearsall could be in line for WR1 or WR2 reps to begin the 2025 ca

Pearsall (hamstring) is considered healthy and just needs to build endurance before getting clearance for training camp, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

There may nonetheless be some concern about the offseason hamstring injury lingering until Pearsall makes it through a few practices without any setbacks. Prior reports suggested he'd likely be ready for practice this weekend, at which point he can continue making his case for steady snaps and targets in 2025. Brandon Aiyuk (knee) is also on the PUP list but may remain there much longer than Pearsall, while Demarcus Robinson is practicing but could be suspended before Week 1. That leaves Pearsall and Jauan Jennings as the safest bets for WR snaps early in the season, although Pearsall's hamstring and Jennings' contract-related frustration have raised some questions there as well. Jennings is practicing, however, with Pearsall apparently set to join him soon enough.

Pearsall (hamstring) trained on a side field Wednesday and is expected to practice Sunday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Reports continue to suggest that Pearsall's stint on the Physically Unable to Perform list won't be a long one. It thus seems the 49ers have bigger issues at his position, with Brandon Aiyuk coming back from an ACL tear, Demarcus Robinson in danger of a DUI-related suspension, and Jacob Cowing injuring his hamstring Wednesday. They also have Jauan Jennings seeking an extension, although he's opting to practice in the meantime. There are a lot of moving parts here , but Pearsall's first-round pedigree and strong finish to his rookie season give him a solid breakout case heading into Year 2.

Pearsall (hamstring) is expected to be cleared early in training camp after the 49ers placed him on the active/PUP list last Friday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

San Francisco held Pearsall out of the final stages of the offseason program due to a hamstring injury, which has lingered into training camp. Despite being unable to practice when the team kicks things off Wednesday, the second-year pro is slated to be in action in short order. Once he's back to full health, Pearsall and veteran Jauan Jennings are expected to serve as the 49ers' top WR options for as long as Brandon Aiyuk (knee) is sidelined, which is expected to be well into the upcoming campaign. Pearsall's rookie year was delayed due to his recovery from a gun-shot wound, but he found his footing down the stretch, accruing an 18-247-2 line on 22 targets over the final three regular-season contests.

Pearsall (hamstring) was placed on the active/PUP list by the 49ers on Friday.

San Francisco will begin training camp shorthanded at wide receiver, as Brandon Aiyuk (knee) was also placed on the active/PUP list Friday, while Jauan Jennings (calf) is seeking a new contract. Demarcus Robinson, Jacob Cowing and Jordan Watkins are the team's top healthy options at wide receiver heading into training camp, though Pearsall could join them soon, as head coach Kyle Shanahan said in June that Pearsall's injury wasn't viewed as a significant concern.

49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday that Pearsall (hamstring) is healthy enough to participate in mandatory minicamp but that the team plans to be careful, and to prioritize having the second-year wideout ready for training camp, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Pearsall worked on the side at the start of mandatory minicamp Tuesday, per Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area, and it seems likely that he won't resume handling on-field work until training camp. With Brandon Aiyuk (knee) also not yet ready to practice as he works his way back from ACL and MCL tears, Jauan Jennings and Demarcus Robinson are positioned to work as San Francisco's top receivers for the time being. Once fully healthy, Pearsall will work to begin putting together some offseason momentum and roll toward a hopeful Year 2 breakout.

Pearsall is dealing with a hamstring injury, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Shanahan describes Pearsall's hamstring issue as a tweak, but the wideout, who Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News notes worked on the side during Thursday's OTA session, isn't likely to resume practicing until training camp, with the team leaning toward exercising caution with Pearsall during next month's mandatory minicamp. Once healthy, the 2024 first-rounder is projected to have a key role in a 49ers wideout corps that no longer includes Deebo Samuel, especially with Brandon Aiyuk still recovering from ACL and MCL tears that he sustained his right knee last October.

Pearsall corralled six of eight targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 47-24 loss to the Cardinals.

Pearsall was the 49ers' leading receiver while scoring his second touchdown in as many games. The rookie saw most of his season production come in those two games after injuries and limited usage kept him out of the fantasy picture for most of the season. With Brandon Aiyuk (knee) recovering from knee surgery and Deebo Samuel set to hit the open market as a free agent, Pearsall's strong close to the season should have his fantasy stock pointing up as we look ahead to the 2025 campaign.

Pearsall (illness/chest) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Coming off a Week 17 breakout performance, Pearsall should have a featured role in the San Francisco offense Sunday with fellow wide receiver Deebo Samuel (ribs/wrist) ruled out. QB Brock Purdy (elbow) is also out, however, leaving Pearsall and Jauan Jennings to catch passes from backup Joshua Dobbs.

Pearsall (illness/chest) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Pearsall is operating with a cap on his reps so far during Week 18 prep due to an illness and a chest injury, both of which are new health concerns for the rookie first-round pick. Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not he has a designation ahead of Sunday's game at Arizona, but if he's active, Pearsall will be working with QB Joshua Dobbs instead of Brock Purdy, who isn't expected to be available due to a banged-up right throwing elbow.

Pearsall was limited at Wednesday's practice due to an illness and a chest injury, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Since getting blanked three consecutive contests from Weeks 11-13, Pearsall has increased his sway in the 49ers' passing game in four straight games, culminating with career highs across the board (8-141-1 on 10 targets) during Monday's loss to the Lions. With his health now compromised, though, his status will be one to monitor as the week continues to get a sense of his odds to suit up Sunday at Arizona.

Pearsall finished with eight receptions on 10 targets for 141 yards and a touchdown while adding six rushing yards on two attempts in Monday's 40-34 loss to Detroit.

Pearsall experienced a true fantasy breakout after weeks of inconsistent play over the second half of the season. The first-round pick finished only behind fellow rookie wideout Malik Nabers (7-171-2) for top honors in receiving yards for Week 17. The unfortunate news for Pearsall's potential managers in Week 18 is that starting quarterback Brock Purdy (elbow) exited Monday's contest with an injury to his throwing elbow, which could jeopardize his availability in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Cardinals. Either way, Pearsall's strong play on MNF is a bright sign for the wideout's future as we look ahead to the 2025 campaign.

Pearsall had four receptions on as many targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 29-17 loss to Miami.

Pearsall experienced more success against the Dolphins than he did against the Rams last week (1-16-0) on the same amount of targets. The first-round rookie wound up logging 43 snaps on offense (70 percent) Sunday, his highest total since making his pro debut against the Chiefs in Week 7. With the 49ers officially being eliminated from playoff contention, perhaps the coaching staff will want to take a harder look at Pearsall over the club's final two games, starting with a home tilt against the Lions next Monday.

Pearsall had one reception on four targets for 16 yards in Thursday's 12-6 loss to the Rams.

Pearsall saw his highest target total since Week 10 (4-73-1), but he was only able to generate one reception off the increase workload. The 49ers offense stalled as an entire unit, so it's hard to put the blame for Thursday's anemic offensive output on the rookie. With San Francisco all but mathematically eliminated from playoff contention, the team may opt to get a better look at Pearsall against Miami next Sunday.

Pearsall had one reception (on two targets) for five yards in Sunday's 38-13 rout of the Bears.

Pearsall turned in another poor fantasy outing, but this time there wasn't a snow storm to dismiss the low production. The first-round rookie was in for 49 percent of San Francisco's offensive snaps as he continues to serve as the team's No. 3 option behind starters Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings. Despite his recent struggles, those in deeper leagues may consider Pearsall in Week 15 for a potential high-scoring affair against the Rams on Thursday Night Football.

Pearsall failed to bring in his lone target in Sunday's 35-10 loss to Buffalo.

Pearsall was on the field for 35 offensive snaps (73 percent), but his lack of involvement likely had more to do with the harsh weather conditions this time around. That said, the rookie slot man hasn't recorded a reception (three targets) in three consecutive games since his breakout performance in Week 10. Pearsall should be more involved as the season progresses given the 49ers' current injury issues in addition to his steady role (averaging 36.1 snaps on offense when active). The receiver's next opportunity to prove himself will come in a soft home matchup against the Bears next Sunday.

Pearsall failed to record a target in Sunday's 39-10 loss to the Packers.

Pearsall played 33 of San Francisco's 49 offensive snaps Sunday, tied with Deebo Samuel for the second-most snaps among wide receivers behind Jauan Jennings (45). Despite handling his second-largest snap share of the season, the rookie wideout failed to earn a single target from quarterback Brandon Allen. Pearsall will look to bounce back after two straight weeks without a reception when the 49ers visit the Bills in Week 13.

Pearsall failed to bring in either of his two targets in Sunday's 20-17 loss to Seattle.

Pearsall was nowhere to be seen on Sunday after scoring the first touchdown of his professional career in Week 10. The rookie still logged a healthy 37 snaps on offense (59 percent), but he didn't receive nearly as many targets as a week prior (six). Pearsall should continue seeing a handful of targets while operating as the 49ers' No. 3 receiver behind Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings against the Packers next Sunday.

Pearsall had four receptions (six targets) for 74 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-20 win over Tampa Bay.

Pearsall got the scoring started in the first quarter when he took a deep pass from Brock Purdy for 46 yards while extending the ball for the first touchdown of his professional career. The 24-year-old Pearsall served as the team's third wideout behind Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings, but the rookie produced the best receiving line from a fantasy standpoint with the early score. Pearsall appears to be gaining confidence in head coach Kyle Shanahan's offense as the team prepares to take on the Seahawks next Sunday.

Pearsall had four receptions on as many targets for 38 yards while adding a 39-yard rush in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Cowboys.

Pearsall followed his pro debut last week against Kansas City with 78 combined yards against Dallas on Sunday Night Football. The first-round rookie was more involved in his second game, garnering five touches after starting wideout Deebo Samuel (ribs) exited Sunday's victory for an already depleted receiver room. The 49ers will have the upcoming bye week to get healthy, so Pearsall may not be needed the way he was in Sunday's victory. That said, the rookie is worth a roster spot in most formats in the event San Francisco needs to rely on Pearsall following Brandon Aiyuk's (knee) season-ending injury and Samuel's uncertain status for Nov. 10 against Tampa Bay.

Pearsall (chest) made his pro debut in Sunday's 28-18 loss to the Chiefs, grabbing three receptions for 21 yards off of five targets in Sunday's 28-18 loss to the Chiefs,

Pearsall triumphantly made his NFL debut after suffering a natural injury to his left shoulder this preseason and then surviving a gunshot wound to the other shoulder from an off-field incident. The 2024 first-round selection saw his usage increase in the second half after starter Brandon Aiyuk went down with what is being feared as an ACL tear in the loss. Pearsall still has to make up for lost time before being fully integrated into head coach Kyle Shanahan's offense, but the rookie is certainly worth a look if Aiyuk's injury proves to be serious ahead of next Sunday's tilt against Dallas.

Pearsall (chest) is listed as active Sunday against the Chiefs.

Pearsall thus will make his long-awaited NFL debut after enduring a gunshot wound during an attempted robbery Aug. 31 that resulted in him spending the first six weeks of the campaign on the reserve/non-football injury list. With Jauan Jennings (hip) sidelined, Pearsall will have a chance to mix into the 49ers offense, but the team may prefer the veteran presence of Chris Conley as the No. 3 WR behind Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk for this high-profile matchup.

Pearsall (chest) is expected to make his NFL debut and be in several packages agianst the Chiefs, reports Jay Glazer on Fox NFL Sunday.

Pearsall (chest) was activated off the reserve/non-football injury list Saturday, but we won't know if he's officially playing until inactives are announced before the 4:25 pm ET kickokff. With Jauan Jennings (hip) ruled out, Pearsall could have a role in the offense.

Pearsall (chest) was activated off the reserve/non-football injury list Saturday and will play in Sunday's contest against the Chiefs, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

This was reported Friday, but the 49ers made it official with this transaction. With Jauan Jennings (hip) out ahead of the Super Bowl rematch, it'll be interesting to see how much work Pearsall will get right out of the gate. Chris Conley, the projected No. 3 target, is a capable veteran, but the 2024 first-round pick was reportedly back working out only a few short weeks after suffering a gunshot wound during an attempted robbery Aug. 31, and San Francisco might be comfortable deploying its intriguing prospect as prominently as it can in this must-watch matchup.

Pearsall (chest) doesn't have an injury designation and is expected to be activated for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

It's good timing for the 49ers with No. 3 receiver Jauan Jennings (hip) out for the first time this season, but they may prefer veteran Chris Conley over Pearsall as the regular replacement. Pearsall was a full practice participant all week and apparently will be activated from the reserve/non-football injury list before Sunday.

Pearsall (chest) practiced fully Thursday.

As for the rest of the 49ers' receiving corps, Deebo Samuel (wrist) again was limited Thursday while wearing a blue non-contract jersey, and Jauan Jennings (hip) has yet to practice this week. That marks two of the team's top three wide receivers, which may spur San Francisco to get Pearsall back on the active roster for the first time since Sept. 2. Friday's injury report will unveil whether he has a designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs, but the 49ers will need to activate him from the reserve/non-football injury list by 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday in order for the rookie first-round pick to have a chance to play this weekend.

Pearsall (chest) practiced in full Wednesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

After the 49ers designated him to return from the reserve/non-football injury list Monday, Pearsall managed to handle every rep in his first official practice since he sustained gunshot wound during an attempted robbery on Aug. 31. Currently, the team has a 21-day window in which to evaluate the rookie first-rounder and get him back on the active roster. With Deebo Samuel (wrist) limited and Jauan Jennings (hip) not practicing Wednesday, there may be reason for San Francisco to need reinforcements at wide receiver Sunday against the Chiefs.

The 49ers opened Pearsall's (chest) 21-day practice window to return from the reserve/non-football injury list Monday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Pearsall will resume practicing as the 49ers prepare to face the Chiefs in a Super Bowl rematch Sunday. In order to suit up and make his season debut, the 2024 first-round draft pick would first have to be added to the 53-man roster in an official move.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday that Pearsall (chest) will return to practice next week, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Shanahan thus confirmed a report from Albert Breer of NFL on Prime Video prior to Thursday's game at Seattle. The 49ers will need to make a procedural move to allow Pearsall to practice, but once his 21-day window to do so is opened, he'll begin the final stages of getting back into game shape since he suffered a gunshot wound during an attempted robbery Aug. 31.

Pearsall (chest) is in line to return to practice next week, Albert Breer of NFL on Prime Video reports.

Pearsall has been focusing on rehab since suffering a gunshot wound during an attempted robbery on Aug. 31, residing on the reserve/non-football injury in the meantime. The 49ers may have precipitated his return if the receiving corps was dealing with anything other than nicks and bruises, but now that he's nearly six weeks removed from the event, the team will open his practice window in the near future.

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Pearsall (chest) will not have his practice window opened ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Seahawks, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Pearsall will continue his rehab process, with San Francisco facing a short week of practices en route to a Thursday night divisional matchup against Seattle. For the time being, the rookie first-round pick will remain on the reserve/non-football injury list due to a gunshot wound sustained during an attempted robbery on Aug. 31. The 49ers haven't yet offered a clear timetable for Pearsall's return to practice, but with Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings all healthy, the team has no incentive to rush him back.

Pearsall (chest) won't return to practice this week, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.

Coach Kyle Shanahan made the announcement Wednesday, two days after telling reporters a decision hadn't yet been made. It's unclear how much this is about Pearsall needing more time to recover, as the 49ers may be slow-playing things because they don't need help at wide receiver with Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings all healthy right now.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that the 49ers haven't made a decision whether or not to open Pearsall's (chest) practice window this week, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.

Pearsall has resided on the reserve/non-football injury list since he suffered a gunshot wound during an attempted robbery on Aug. 31, keeping him out of commission for the first four games of the campaign. He's eligible to return as soon as Week 5, but Shanahan appears to be keeping the situation close to the vest. Pearsall resumed working out during Week 2 prep, and he even ran routes on a side field on Sept. 20. With Deebo Samuel only missing one game (Week 3) due to a recent strained hamstring, the team may feel that they have a bit more leeway with Pearsall considering both Samuel and Aiyuk were able to suit up Sunday against the Patriots.

Pearsall (chest) ran routes on a side field Thursday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Barrows notes that Pearsall was making sharp cuts and appeared to be running at full speed, which supports earlier reports that the rookie hopes to be ready for games when he's first eligible to return from injured reserve Week 5. Pearsall's role at that point will partially depend on the health of San Francisco's other pass catchers, namely WR Deebo Samuel, who is expected to miss the next two or three games with a calf injury. While nobody can truly replace Samuel's unique blends of talents, Pearsall was highly successful with his limited opportunities as a ballcarrier in five seasons at ASU and Florida, taking 21 career rush attempts for 253 yards and five TDs.

Coach Kyle Shanahan revealed Friday that Pearsall (chest/shoulder) resumed working out at the 49ers' facilities this week, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Pearsall suffered a gunshot wound during an attempted robbery on Aug. 31, but he was discharged from the hospital one day later before the 49ers placed him on the reserve/non-football injury list on Labor Day. Since then, it was revealed that the team expected the rookie first-round pick to return when first eligible Week 5, and getting back to working out, including in the weight room, is a decent sign that he's on track for such an outcome. For as long as Pearsall remains sidelined, Jauan Jennings will remain San Francisco's No. 3 WR behind starters Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk.

The 49ers have an expectation that Pearsall (chest) will be able to play when first eligible to return from the reserve/non-football injury list Week 5, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Pearsall sustained a gunshot wound during an attempted robbery last Saturday and was discharged from the hospital one day later before the 49ers placed him on reserve/NFI on Labor Day. The rookie first-round pick returned to team facilities Tuesday, and head coach Kyle Shanahan told David Lombardi of The Athletic on Friday that Pearsall will rest up for about one week before beginning the rehab process in earnest. San Francisco hosts the Cardinals in Week 5 on Oct. 6, which gives Pearsall roughly one month to get back to full health. Jauan Jennings will handle the No. 3 receiver role behind Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk during Pearsall's absence.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Pearsall (chest/shoulder) will focus on resting for roughly one more week before beginning his rehab process, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

Pearsall, who will have to spend at least the first four games of the season on the reserve/non-football injury list, is in the early stages of recovery after having sustained a gunshot wound during an attempted robbery over the weekend. General manager John Lynch said Wednesday that he expects Pearsall to play in his rookie season, but it remains to be seen what sort of recovery timetable the 49ers have in mind. It's encouraging, though, that Pearsall is already nearing clearance to start rehab work. To begin the regular season, Jauan Jennings (oblique) looks set to operate as the No. 3 wideout behind Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk.

49ers general manager John Lynch said Tuesday that he expects Pearsall (chest/shoulder) to come off the reserve/non-football injury and play at some point this season, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Lynch said Pearsall's recovery has been "nothing short of miraculous," as the rookie wide receiver returned to team facilities Tuesday after having been shot as the victim of an attempted robbery on Saturday. Due to having been placed on the reserve/NFI-list on Monday, Pearsall is ruled out for at least the first four games of the regular season, but it's a positive sign for his health to hear Lynch's confidence that the first-rounder will suit up at some point in his rookie season.

Pearsall (chest/shoulder), who was placed on the reserve/non-football injury list Monday, returned San Francisco's team facilities Tuesday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

Pearsall managed to return to the 49ers' weight room just two days after having been released from the hospital following a Saturday robbery attempt in which he sustained a gunshot wound to the chest. San Francisco will doubtless take a cautious approach to the rookie first-round pick's recovery, but it's encouraging to already see Pearsall back at team facilities. Due to his placement on the reserve/NFI list, Pearsall will not be eligible to suit up for the 49ers' first four games of the regular season.

The 49ers placed Pearsall (shoulder/chest) on the reserve/non-football injury list Monday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Pearsall's placement on the reserve/NFI list rules him out for at least the first four games of the regular season after he sustained a gunshot wound as the victim of an alleged robbery attempt Saturday. The rookie first-round pick was discharged from San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center on Sunday after having had his condition upgraded from "serious" to "fair" earlier in the day.

Pearsall (shoulder/chest) was released from the hospital Sunday afternoon.

Pearsall was upgraded from 'serious' to 'fair' condition by San Francisco General Hospital earlier Sunday, and he's now been given the go-ahead to return home. That is obviously great news for the rookie receiver's outlook after he was shot in the chest as the victim of an alleged robbery attempt Saturday.

Pearsall (shoulder/chest) was upgraded to fair condition by San Francisco General Hospital on Sunday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Pearsall was shot in the chest as the target of an alleged attempted robbery in San Francisco on Saturday and was initially listed as being in serious condition. Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, Pearsall's mother posted on social media earlier Sunday that the bullet that hit the rookie receiver exited out his back and missed his vital organs. While these updates provide optimism about Pearsall's chances of making a full recovery, more should be known upon further evaluation by his medical team.

Pearsall (shoulder) was involved in a Saturday shooting in San Francisco and is in stable condition, Sean Cunningham of KTXL Fox 40 reports.

Per Cunningham, Pearsall was shot "through the chest in a robbery attempt over a Rolex" as the rookie was headed to a signing event. There was a struggle for the gun, Cunningham added, and both Pearsall and the suspect were shot. Teammate Deebo Samuel said Pearsall is "good."

Pearsall (shoulder) returned to practice Monday in a non-contact jersey, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Pearsall's participation in practice is a positive step forward, even if he's wearing a blue non-contact jersey. The rookie first-round pick had been sidelined since Aug. 6 due to a shoulder sublaxation he's dealt with since college, and which caused him to miss all three of San Francisco's preseason contests. Pearsall has two weeks remaining to ramp up his activity level before San Francisco's regular-season opener against the Jets on Sept. 9.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Sunday that Pearsall (shoulder) will return to practice Monday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

Pearsall has been sidelined since Aug. 6 due to a pre-existing shoulder sublaxation that he sustained in college, and he did not suit up for San Francisco's 24-24 tie in the preseason finale against Las Vegas. Shanahan appears to be doubling down on his comments following Friday's exhibition when he said that he was hopefull for Pearsall to return to practice this coming week. The rookie first-rounder's level of participation Monday should shed some light on his availability for the regular-season opener versus the Jets on Monday, Sept. 9. If healthy, Pearsall could be in line to play a meaningful role for the 49ers, as there's still lingering uncertainty around fellow wideout Brandon Aiyuk's contract situation with the team.

Coach Kyle Shanahan indicated after Friday's preseason finale that he hopes Pearsall (shoulder) will be able to practice this coming week, Jeremy Bergman of NFL.com reports.

When asked if he thought Pearsall -- who was unavailable for the contest -- would be ready for Week 1 action, Shanahan said "I hope so...We'll see how he is this week. Hoping he gets into practice this week, and if he does, that's a pretty good sign that he could be available for then." The report adds that Shanahan told reporters Friday that Pearsall is dealing with a subluxation (or partial dislocation) of his shoulder, which stems from the wideout's time in college. It's an issue that left Pearsall's shoulder feeling "tender" after a recent aggravation of the issue. The 2024 first-rounder's status gains added import for the 49ers ahead of the regular season, considering the uncertainty surrounding fellow WR Brandon Aiyuk, whose contract situation with the team remains unresolved.

Pearsall (shoulder) is not in line to practice this week and remains a non-participant Tuesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that there was hope Pearsall could make his preseason debut Friday versus the Raiders, but that ship seems to have sailed. The rookie first-round pick has missed roughly all but one week of training camp due to a shoulder issue, so he's been deprived of valuable installation reps in the 49ers' complex offensive scheme, as well as opportunities to establish chemistry with quarterback Brock Purdy. That Brandon Aiyuk (contract dispute) has also remained off the practice field in that span only compounds the worth of Pearsall's missed practices. He still has nearly three weeks to get healthy ahead of San Francisco's regular-season opener against the Jets on Sept. 9, but at this point it seems unlikely Pearsall is significantly involved Week 1 even if back to 100 percent form.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that he's "hopeful" Pearsall (shoulder) will return to practice this week and be able to suit up for Friday's preseason finale against the Raiders, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Pearsall is currently dealing with a shoulder injury, and he previously began training camp on the non-football injury list due to a hamstring issue. That's resulted in the rookie first-round pick missing a huge portion of valuable reps, including San Francisco's first two preseason games. With Brandon Aiyuk's holdout still ongoing, it will be encouraging for Pearsall's prospects if he's indeed able to get back on the field soon and handle some preseason reps during Friday's road exhibition game against Las Vegas.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday that he hopes Pearsall (shoulder) will be healthy and available for a Week 1 matchup with the Jets on Monday, Sept. 9, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

With Brandon Aiyuk's hold-in lasting to this point in the preseason, Pearsall has missed out on valuable reps as he tends to his second injury since reporting for training camp in mid-July. The current issue is the shoulder injury that also impacted the first-round rookie during OTAs. Shanahan's comments Friday indicate Pearsall is making progress in his recovery behind the scenes, but the wide receiver would begin to allay concerns from outside the team by getting back on the practice field.

Pearsall (shoulder) isn't in line to play in Saturday's preseason game at Tennessee, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Pearsall kicked off training camp on the active/non-football injury list due to a hamstring injury, and since the 49ers activated him July 29, the shoulder issue that impacted his on-field work during OTAs resurfaced. With Brandon Aiyuk away from the team as he seeks either a long-term contract from San Francisco or a trade elsewhere, Pearsall is missing out on key reps in camp and now the exhibition slate. Pearsall's next chance for game action is Sunday, Aug. 18 against the Saints.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday that Pearsall re-aggravated the injury that forced him to begin training camp on the active/non-football injury list, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

Shanahan said the 49ers only removed Purdy from the practice field Tuesday as a precaution, but the timing is unfortunate for the rookie first-round pick, who has a prime opportunity for added first-team reps with Brandon Aiyuk currently present at camp, but not practicing. The situation regarding a potential trade that would result in Aiyuk departing San Francisco continues to rapidly evolve, in which case Pearsall could well immediately start alongside Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings, but the former Florida standout will first need to get fully healthy. Meanwhile, star running back Christian McCaffrey (calf), as well as backups Elijah Mitchell (hamstring) and Isaac Guerendo (hamstring), are all managing injuries.

Pearsall (hamstring) has been activated from the active/non-football injury list.

As a result, Pearsall, who the 49ers took 31st overall in the 2024 NFL Draft, is in uniform for the team's first padded training camp practice, per Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle. Now that the Florida product is back on the field, he figures to compete with Jauan Jennings for slotting behind top WRs Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk, who of late has been present for practice, but not participating as he seeks a new contract.

Pearsall (hamstring) worked on the side at Friday's practice and has progressed to route-running at seemingly full speed, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

Pearsall remains on the active/non-football injury list, but it looks like he could be ready to be activated and resume practicing as early as next week. Once ready to retake the field, the rookie first-round pick might have an opportunity to take advantage of Brandon Aiyuk's current hold-in and get some extra first-team reps in.

49ers GM John Lynch said Tuesday that Pearsall (hamstring), who remains on the active/non-football injury list, is expected to miss at least the first four practices of training camp, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

Lynch said Pearsall will miss the first "block" of training camp, which consists of roughly four sessions, due to a hamstring injury he suffered away from team facilities. Meanwhile, Brandon Aiyuk is among veterans reporting for camp Tuesday, though he remains dissatisfied with his contract. It's encouraging that Pearsall doesn't appear to be staring down too long a recovery timetable, but the rookie first-round pick's opportunities in Year 1 will depend on a combination of his getting healthy quickly and impressing his coaching staff, plus Aiyuk's presence or lack thereof atop the depth chart.

The 49ers placed Pearsall (undisclosed) on the active/non-football injury list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Pearsall's placement on the NFI list indicates that his injury was sustained away from team activities. The details and severity of Pearsall's injury remain undisclosed, but the 2024 first-round pick's placement on the NFI list comes at the same time as Brandon Aiyuk's official request to be traded, potentially depriving the 49ers of both negotiation leverage and receiver depth, depending on his expected recovery timetable. If Aiyuk's request is granted and he ends up traded, Pearsall will benefit from a substantially clearer path to starting reps alongside Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings, but he'll first need to get healthy and return to the practice field.

Pearsall may not see the field often as a rookie after being drafted by the 49ers, who have three starting wideouts returning for 2024, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

San Francisco's selection of Pearsall at the tail end of the first round of the 2024 Draft came as a bit of a surprise, both in terms of draft slot and roster needs, as Pearsall was mostly projected as a Day 2 pick rather than Day 1. Perhaps the front office drafted the Florida product with an eye on next offseason, at which point Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings are expected to hit free agency and Deebo Samuel will be entering the final year of his contract. Pearsall is an explosive talent with a good chance to put up fantasy-worthy numbers at some point during his career; it just may not happen right off the bat in a loaded 49ers offense.
