The 49ers signed WR Deebo Samuel to a one-year deal worth up to $7 million, according to multiple reports. Samuel spent his first six NFL seasons in San Francisco (2019 to 2024) and returns amid injuries to Ricky Pearsall and Christian Kirk.
Niners WR Ricky Pearsall is sitting out of Wednesday's practice because of swelling in the same knee he injured last season, according to multiple reports. The PCL injury in that knee cost him eight games, including some late season aggravations.
49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) is "optimistic" that he'll play vs. the Seahawks on Saturday night. He's been limited in the first two practices of the week, but the ankle issue that had been on the injury report recently is gone. Pearsall has been banged up basically all season, but he's tallied 85+ yards in four of his nine games, including each of his last two. It's unclear exactly how healthy Pearsall will be for this Divisional Round game, but the 49ers could certainly use him with TE George Kittle out.
49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee, ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. HC Kyle Shanahan said earlier this week that Pearsall aggravated his PCL injury ahead of the regular-season finale vs. the Seahawks. We're currently projecting him to miss Sunday's Wild Card game vs. the Eagles, but we'll keep you updated on his status.
49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said Monday that a re-aggravated PCL injury kept WR Ricky Pearsall from playing vs. the Seahawks in Week 18. Pearsall missed six games in the middle of the season with the knee injury, returned for four games, but then missed two of the final three. He's seemingly uncertain for Sunday's Wild Card game vs. the Eagles. We'll keep you updated on Pearsall's status throughout the week.
49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee, ankle) is "likely" to play vs. the Bears tonight, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Pearsall was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable after missing last week's game with an aggravation of his PCL injury. It's fair to assume that he won't be at 100% for this one, but the 49ers could certainly use him with TE George Kittle expected to be out. Pearsall is a volatile Week 17 fantasy option. Check your Team Dashboard to see if he makes sense in your starting lineup.
49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee, ankle) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. That gives him a shot to return for Sunday night's game vs. the Bears. Pearsall would be a risky fantasy play coming off an aggravation of his PCL injury, although TE George Kittle's absence would make him more enticing. We'll keep you updated on Pearsall's status over the next few days.
49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (ankle, knee) is out for Monday night's game vs. the Colts. He didn't practice all week and could certainly miss multiple games after aggravating his PCL injury last week. Pearsall's absence boosts the target projections on WR Jauan Jennings and TE George Kittle.
49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (ankle, knee) did not practice on Thursday. He played through the ankle issue last weekend, but the knee -- an aggravation of his previous PCL injury -- knocked him out of the Titans game. We're not expecting Pearsall to play vs. the Colts on Monday night but will keep you updated on his status.
49ers WR Ricky Pearsall is iffy for next Monday night's game vs. the Colts after suffering ankle and knee injuries in the Week 15 win over the Titans, HC Kyle Shanahan said Monday. Pearsall was able to return after hurting an ankle on a hip-drop tackle in the first quarter, but a knee injury in the fourth knocked him out. Shanahan said that it's an aggravation of the PCL injury that cost Pearsall six games earlier this season. "It's real painful for awhile, but it can go away," Shanahan said. "Not at all like it was when he first did it, but it does take time for that pain to go away. Hopefully sooner than later." We'll keep you updated on Pearsall's status throughout the week, but fantasy owners should not be banking on him playing against the Colts.
Niners WR Ricky Pearsall limped off the field in the first quarter after a hip-drop tackle by Titans S Kevin Winston on his first reception. He was pretty clearly favoring his left knee but remained on the sideline. We'll see about his status as the game progresses. It's at least the opposite knee from the one in which he suffered his early-season PCL injury.
Update: Pearsall returned before the end of the quarter.
Niners WR Ricky Pearsall managed just 1 catch for no yards among three targets in his return Sunday from a seven-week absence for a knee injury. But the outing was more encouraging than that would suggest.
49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) practiced all week and is off the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Cardinals. It’ll be his first action since Week 4. We’ll look for any reports of a snap count for Pearsall in this one, but he’s at least a bit riskier than usual in fantasy lineups coming off the extended absence. Pearsall will still make sense in plenty of fantasy lineups, though. He posted 4-108-0, 4-56-0, and 8-117-0 receiving lines over the first three weeks of the season.
49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) got in a limited practice on Wednesday for the first time since going down in Week 4. HC Kyle Shanahan said before the workout that Pearsall is trending toward a return for Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals. "They told me he is healthy, so I'll see today from my own eyes when he practices, and I'm sure he'll look that way," Shanahan said. "As long as he does, then he is good to go." Pearsall was off to a strong start before the knee injury, posting 4-108-0, 4-56-0, and 8-117-0 receiving lines over the first three weeks of the season. It's worth noting that TE George Kittle missed two of those games and most of the third, and WR Jauan Jennings missed one. Pearsall will be returning to a more crowded pass-catching corps but should still have a big role if healthy. We'll look for more updates on his status but would consider him a risk/reward WR3 in Week 11 fantasy lineups for now.
WR Ricky Pearsall has officially been ruled out for San Francisco's Week 6 trip to Tampa Bay to take on the Buccaneers. Pearsall will miss his second consecutive game with a PCL injury. The 49ers will also be without QB Brock Purdy (toe) and TE George Kittle (hamstring).
49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe) and WRs Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs) have all been ruled out for Thursday night's game against the Rams. It doesn't sound like any of their injuries are serious, but the short week did them no favors. We'll see if they can make it back for Week 6. QB Mac Jones makes another start vs. the Rams this week. He played well in Week 2 and 3 starts, completing 66% of his passes at 7.0 yards per attempt with 4 TDs vs. 1 INT. He'll be working with a rag tag group of pass catchers on Thursday night, though. The WR corps figures to be led by Kendrick Bourne, Demarcus Robinson, and Skyy Moore, while Jake Tonges again leads the TE room. We'd try not to mess with any of these guys in Week 5 fantasy lineups. RB Christian McCaffrey will be very busy yet again.
49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe) did not practice on Tuesday. "I feel a lot better compared to the Week 1 game," Purdy said. "Toe is just a little sore from the game, but nowhere near as bad as after Seattle (in Week 1)." Purdy did not say whether he expects to play vs. the Rams on Thursday night, though. We'll see if he practices tomorrow and how he's listed on the final injury report. WRs Ricky Pearsall (knee) and WR Jauan Jennings (ankle, rib) also missed Wednesday's practice.
49ers WR Ricky Pearsall is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars with a knee injury. This is presumably the same issue that had him listed as questionable heading into this one. We'll pass along an update when we get one.
Update: Pearsall returned in the fourth quarter.
