Pearsall placed on season-ending injured reserve after posterior cruciate ligament injury in right knee; will undergo surgery in next couple of weeks with recovery timeline of six to 12 months (nine months potential sweet spot). The PCL issue has plagued him since Week 4 of last season when first injured against Jacksonville; cost him all or parts of 10 games last season. 49ers initially opted against surgery in offseason hoping rest and rehab would suffice, but swelling returned after few days of training camp, prompting reevaluation and decision to proceed with surgery. Third season effectively over after just three training camp practices.
