The San Francisco 49ers have suffered a significant blow with the news that wide receiver Ricky Pearsall will miss the entire season due to a knee injury. Pearsall, who was a first-round pick in 2024, has struggled to stay on the field throughout his young career.
Injury History
Pearsall missed most of his rookie training camp with a shoulder injury and was also shot in a robbery attempt before the season began. He played in 11 games in 2024, catching 31 passes for 400 yards and three touchdowns. However, he suffered a knee injury in 2025 that kept him out for six games, and he was not as effective when he returned.
Pearsall’s lack of playing time has made it unlikely that the team will pick up his fifth-year option for 2028. To replace Pearsall, the 49ers have signed former All-Pro Deebo Samuel on a one-year deal worth up to $7 million.
