Pearsall's PCL injury may require surgery after conservative treatment failed; recovery uncertain.
Ricky PearsallWR
Ricky Pearsall is out of San Francisco 49ers training camp with a PCL injury re-aggravated in December 2025 and is now considering surgery. PCL injuries typically avoid surgery as a first resort due to 9-12 month recovery timelines and mixed results, especially at agility positions like WR; surgery is being considered only as a last resort after conservative management failed. Medical experts note that the data on PCL surgery is not good, and symptoms often don't appear until intensive activities resume during training camp, which is why delaying surgery until necessity is medically sound. The timing of considering surgery now rather than offseason was appropriate per medical guidance.
