RICKY PEARSALL NEWS

49ers News: Ricky Pearsall set to return to practice after shoulder injury recovery Ricky Pearsall Set to Return from Injury as Aiyuk Trade Rumors Heat Up.

AUGUST 26 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Set to practice Monday Coach Kyle Shanahan said Sunday that Pearsall (shoulder) will return to practice Monday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

Impact Pearsall has been sidelined since Aug. 6 due to a pre-existing shoulder sublaxation that he sustained in college, and he did not suit up for San Francisco's 24-24 tie in the preseason finale against Las Vegas. Shanahan appears to be doubling down on his comments following Friday's exhibition when he said that he was hopefull for Pearsall to return to practice this coming week. The rookie first-rounder's level of participation Monday should shed some light on his availability for the regular-season opener versus the Jets on Monday, Sept. 9. If healthy, Pearsall could be in line to play a meaningful role for the 49ers, as there's still lingering uncertainty around fellow wideout Brandon Aiyuk's contract situation with the team.

Could return to practice soon Coach Kyle Shanahan indicated after Friday's preseason finale that he hopes Pearsall (shoulder) will be able to practice this coming week, Jeremy Bergman of NFL.com reports.

Impact When asked if he thought Pearsall -- who was unavailable for the contest -- would be ready for Week 1 action, Shanahan said "I hope so...We'll see how he is this week. Hoping he gets into practice this week, and if he does, that's a pretty good sign that he could be available for then." The report adds that Shanahan told reporters Friday that Pearsall is dealing with a subluxation (or partial dislocation) of his shoulder, which stems from the wideout's time in college. It's an issue that left Pearsall's shoulder feeling "tender" after a recent aggravation of the issue. The 2024 first-rounder's status gains added import for the 49ers ahead of the regular season, considering the uncertainty surrounding fellow WR Brandon Aiyuk, whose contract situation with the team remains unresolved.

Won't practice this week Pearsall (shoulder) is not in line to practice this week and remains a non-participant Tuesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that there was hope Pearsall could make his preseason debut Friday versus the Raiders, but that ship seems to have sailed. The rookie first-round pick has missed roughly all but one week of training camp due to a shoulder issue, so he's been deprived of valuable installation reps in the 49ers' complex offensive scheme, as well as opportunities to establish chemistry with quarterback Brock Purdy. That Brandon Aiyuk (contract dispute) has also remained off the practice field in that span only compounds the worth of Pearsall's missed practices. He still has nearly three weeks to get healthy ahead of San Francisco's regular-season opener against the Jets on Sept. 9, but at this point it seems unlikely Pearsall is significantly involved Week 1 even if back to 100 percent form.

Could suit up Friday Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that he's "hopeful" Pearsall (shoulder) will return to practice this week and be able to suit up for Friday's preseason finale against the Raiders,...

Impact Pearsall is currently dealing with a shoulder injury, and he previously began training camp on the non-football injury list due to a hamstring issue. That's resulted in the rookie first-round pick missing a huge portion of valuable reps, including San Francisco's first two preseason games. With Brandon Aiyuk's holdout still ongoing, it will be encouraging for Pearsall's prospects if he's indeed able to get back on the field soon and handle some preseason reps during Friday's road exhibition game against Las Vegas.

Impact With Brandon Aiyuk's hold-in lasting to this point in the preseason, Pearsall has missed out on valuable reps as he tends to his second injury since reporting for training camp in mid-July. The current issue is the shoulder injury that also impacted the first-round rookie during OTAs. Shanahan's comments Friday indicate Pearsall is making progress in his recovery behind the scenes, but the wide receiver would begin to allay concerns from outside the team by getting back on the practice field.

Unlikely to play Saturday Pearsall (shoulder) isn't in line to play in Saturday's preseason game at Tennessee, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Pearsall kicked off training camp on the active/non-football injury list due to a hamstring injury, and since the 49ers activated him July 29, the shoulder issue that impacted his on-field work during OTAs resurfaced. With Brandon Aiyuk away from the team as he seeks either a long-term contract from San Francisco or a trade elsewhere, Pearsall is missing out on key reps in camp and now the exhibition slate. Pearsall's next chance for game action is Sunday, Aug. 18 against the Saints.

Impact Shanahan said the 49ers only removed Purdy from the practice field Tuesday as a precaution, but the timing is unfortunate for the rookie first-round pick, who has a prime opportunity for added first-team reps with Brandon Aiyuk currently present at camp, but not practicing. The situation regarding a potential trade that would result in Aiyuk departing San Francisco continues to rapidly evolve, in which case Pearsall could well immediately start alongside Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings, but the former Florida standout will first need to get fully healthy. Meanwhile, star running back Christian McCaffrey (calf), as well as backups Elijah Mitchell (hamstring) and Isaac Guerendo (hamstring), are all managing injuries.

Activated from NFI list Pearsall (hamstring) has been activated from the active/non-football injury list.

Impact As a result, Pearsall, who the 49ers took 31st overall in the 2024 NFL Draft, is in uniform for the team's first padded training camp practice, per Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle. Now that the Florida product is back on the field, he figures to compete with Jauan Jennings for slotting behind top WRs Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk, who of late has been present for practice, but not participating as he seeks a new contract.

JULY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Making recovery progress Pearsall (hamstring) worked on the side at Friday's practice and has progressed to route-running at seemingly full speed, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

Impact Pearsall remains on the active/non-football injury list, but it looks like he could be ready to be activated and resume practicing as early as next week. Once ready to retake the field, the rookie first-round pick might have an opportunity to take advantage of Brandon Aiyuk's current hold-in and get some extra first-team reps in.

Hamstring injury appears minor 49ers GM John Lynch said Tuesday that Pearsall (hamstring), who remains on the active/non-football injury list, is expected to miss at least the first four practices of training ca...

Impact Lynch said Pearsall will miss the first "block" of training camp, which consists of roughly four sessions, due to a hamstring injury he suffered away from team facilities. Meanwhile, Brandon Aiyuk is among veterans reporting for camp Tuesday, though he remains dissatisfied with his contract. It's encouraging that Pearsall doesn't appear to be staring down too long a recovery timetable, but the rookie first-round pick's opportunities in Year 1 will depend on a combination of his getting healthy quickly and impressing his coaching staff, plus Aiyuk's presence or lack thereof atop the depth chart.

49ers Place Ricky Pearsall on Non-Football Injury List The San Francisco 49ers announced that WR Ricky Pearsall has been placed on the Active/Non-Football Injury List.

Starting camp on NFI list The 49ers placed Pearsall (undisclosed) on the active/non-football injury list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Pearsall's placement on the NFI list indicates that his injury was sustained away from team activities. The details and severity of Pearsall's injury remain undisclosed, but the 2024 first-round pick's placement on the NFI list comes at the same time as Brandon Aiyuk's official request to be traded, potentially depriving the 49ers of both negotiation leverage and receiver depth, depending on his expected recovery timetable. If Aiyuk's request is granted and he ends up traded, Pearsall will benefit from a substantially clearer path to starting reps alongside Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings, but he'll first need to get healthy and return to the practice field.
