Ricky PearsallWRSF
Pearsall, San Francisco's first-round pick in 2024, had to sit out training camp practice on July 29 with a swollen knee—a flare-up of the PCL injury that limited him to nine games in 2025. NBC Sports' Matt Maiocco reported that Pearsall could require surgery on his knee, and if he does, the third-year wideout would have to miss the entire 2026 season. Maiocco stated: 'At this point, I think it's reasonable, rational, logical for the 49ers to not expect Ricky Pearsall to make any contribution in 2026.'
