Ricky PearsallWRSF
Ricky Pearsall placed on Injured Reserve for the entire 2026 season after suffering a PCL knee injury in Week 4 of the 2025 season. Despite initial hope to avoid surgery, Pearsall did not recover sufficiently and will undergo season-ending surgery to repair the PCL. GM John Lynch noted that while most PCL injuries resolve without surgery, Pearsall's did not; he progressed through the offseason and ramped up before camp but swelled up immediately upon arrival at training camp due to the rigors of competition, forcing him to sit out three days into camp and miss a July 29 practice.
