49ers Concerned About Pearsall's Knee Injury

San Francisco 49ers receiver Ricky Pearsall has been sidelined by a knee injury related to his 2025 posterior cruciate ligament issue, with no return timeline set.

The 49ers expressed concern Wednesday as Pearsall dealt with swelling in his right knee after participating in just two training camp practices. The injury is a setback for the 2024 first-round pick who has struggled with durability throughout his career.

Pearsall missed eight games last season with a knee injury and has only played 20 games total in his two-year career, recording 67 catches for 928 yards and three touchdowns. His absence opens opportunities for receivers like rookie De'Zhaun Stribling and veteran Demarcus Robinson to compete for starting roles alongside Mike Evans. sportbet.reviews
