San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Pearsall has been sidelined since Week 4 due to a knee sprain, and he appears to be at risk of being inactive again in Week 7 when the 49ers take on the Atlanta Falcons. Pearsall has recorded 20 catches for 327 yards on 29 targets across four games so far this season. If he remains out, 49ers wideout Kendrick Bourne could be in for another week as the focal point of the team's passing game. San Francisco could be getting star tight end George Kittle (hamstring) back off of Injured Reserve in Week 7 as well. Should Pearsall return against Atlanta, he would profile as a low-end WR3/flex option. However, fantasy managers should likely count on him being sidelined for a third straight week.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) was not present at practice on Wednesday, according to David Lombardi of The Athletic. Pearsall has made progress in recovery from a knee sprain that he suffered in Week 4, but he's not quite ready to return to the practice field. The 25-year-old former first-rounder is making progress, but he might be forced to miss a third straight game this weekend when the Niners take on the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday night. Pearsall has two more days to get back onto the practice field, but it seems like he's trending toward another absence. The good news for the 49ers is that quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) and tight end George Kittle (hamstring) practiced on Wednesday, so they could both make their returns this weekend. Pearsall should be stashed in all fantasy leagues, but he should be left on your bench again this week.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Monday that wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) will be evaluated on Wednesday with the hope that he can do more in practice this week, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN. Pearsall suffered a PCL injury to his right knee in Week 4 and has missed the last two games as a result. He was unable to practice at all last week, but he was able to do conditioning work on side fields with trainers. The 25-year-old second-year pass-catcher appears to be making progress, but it's premature to think that he'll be able to return for a Week 7 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. When Pearsall does finally return, tight end George Kittle (hamstring) could be back from Injured Reserve, which would mean fewer targets in the passing game. Fellow wideout Jauan Jennings (ribs) returned in the Week 6 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but he revealed he played with five broken ribs.
Oct 13, 2025 8:13 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) has already been ruled out ahead of the Week 6 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He'll miss his second straight game due to a lingering knee issue. According to Adam Schefter, Pearsall could make his return to the field for the Week 7 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Given the injuries to this offense, Pearsall figures to be a focal point in the receiving game once he's healthy enough to play. Hopefully, fantasy managers will only be without him for one more week. His absence figures to mean more involvement for Jauan Jennings (rib, ankle) and Kendrick Bourne.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) has been ruled out for the second straight week for the team's Week 6 contest this Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to The Athletic's David Lombardi. Pearsall last played in Week 4 with a PCL injury that will now keep him out for a second straight week. Quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) will miss his fourth game in six weeks, but the good news for San Fran's offense is that they could be getting wideout Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs) back this weekend in Tampa. The next time Pearsall will be able to get back into game action will be in Week 7 against the Atlanta Falcons, at which point both Jennings and tight end George Kittle (hamstring) could be back in the fold and taking valuable targets away. With Pearsall missing another game, Kendrick Bourne will be in play as a flex in fantasy again, even if Jennings is active.
Oct 10, 2025 5:45 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) did not practice with the rest of the team for the second straight day this week on Thursday, according to Cam Inman of the Bay Area News Group. Instead, Pearsall was doing conditioning on a side field with a support sleeve on his right leg. The 25-year-old second-year pass-catcher suffered a PCL injury in the Week 4 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars and was held out of the Week 5 win over the Los Angeles Rams last Thursday night. He has not given up hope yet of playing this Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but it's not looking good for his chances right now. The Niners also were without Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs) a week ago, which led to Kendrick Bourne having a career day as quarterback Mac Jones' top target. Jennings has a better shot at returning this weekend, but if Pearsall misses another game, Bourne could be in line for another big day.
Oct 9, 2025 5:37 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) did not practice on Wednesday and is not expected to play in their Week 6 matchup at Tampa Bay, according to Tracy Sandler of FGSN. Pearsall is now set to miss his second straight game after suffering a PCL injury in the 49ers' Week 4 loss to the Jaguars. It's unfortunate, as Pearsall had been enjoying a fantastic start to the season, catching 20 of 29 targets for 327 yards. His absence will again open up more opportunities for Week 5's breakout performer, Kendrick Bourne, as well as another heavy workload for star back Christian McCaffrey.
Oct 8, 2025 4:50 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) wasn't spotted at Monday's practice, according to Cam Inman of the Bay Area News Group. Although the 49ers didn't hold an official practice on Monday, it's not a great sign that Pearsall isn't on the field after he was inactive for last Thursday night's win over the Los Angeles Rams due to a minor PCL injury that he suffered in Week 4. Both Pearsall and Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs) did not play last Thursday, allowing Kendrick Bourne to go off for 10 catches and over 100 yards. Jennings was on the field on Monday, though, signaling that Jennings might be closer than Pearsall in terms of being available in Week 6 to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. If the 25-year-old Pearsall doesn't return to the team's first practice on Wednesday, he'll be on track to miss a second straight game.
Oct 6, 2025 10:47 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday night's game against the Rams, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Pearsall was already questionable while managing a knee injury heading into Week 3's matchup against the Jaguars, and then he left the game in the third quarter. He was testing it out on the sidelines and was ultimately able to return to the game, but had to shut it down after one snap. The short week made it unlikely for Pearsall to turn around and recover fast enough. But it does give him a longer period to rest, leading into Week 6. The San Francisco wide receiver room has been decimated by injury, leaving Kendrick Bourne as a potential target if you are desperate.
Oct 1, 2025 4:31 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) was unable to practice on Tuesday due to a knee injury. This was his second straight day sitting out in practice. Fantasy managers should closely monitor his status on Wednesday as he appears to be in danger of missing their contest on Thursday evening against the Los Angeles Rams. Pearsall suffered this injury during their Week 4 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Before exiting, the second-year wideout caught four of his five targets for 46 yards. During the first three games of the season, Pearsall was very productive, tallying 281 yards on 16 receptions (24 targets). With Jauan Jennings (ankle/rib) also in danger of missing this contest, the 49ers could turn to Demarcus Robinson and Kendrick Bourne to operate as the team's top wideouts.
Sep 30, 2025 5:02 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch said that wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) is listed as questionable to play in his team's Week 5 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night. 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan previously said that Pearsall suffered a "minor PCL" injury in Week 4. The 25-year-old has recorded 20 catches for 327 yards on 29 targets so far in 2025. San Francisco could also be missing wideout Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs) in Week 5. If both Pearsall and Jennings are sidelined, wide receivers Kendrick Bourne and Demarcus Robinson would both likely see a significant increase in both playing time and target share.
Sep 30, 2025 11:31 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) was listed as a non-participant on the team's Monday injury report, per Cam Inman of Bay Area News Group. The 49ers did not actually practice on Monday, so this is an estimation of Pearsall's current status heading into his Thursday night Week 5 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan previously said that Pearsall suffered a "minor PCL" injury in Week 4. Pearsall has recorded 20 catches for 327 yards on 29 targets so far this season. It appears San Francisco could be without both Pearsall and wideout Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs) on Thursday. If that's the case, 49ers wide receivers Kendrick Bourne and Demarcus Robinson would likely both be in line for a significant increase in playing time.
Sep 29, 2025 9:59 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) may have a "minor PCL" injury, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan, casting doubt on his availability in Week 5, per Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle. Pearsall went down hard on his knee trying to make a catch early in the third quarter on Sunday's eventual 26-21 loss to the Jaguars. Pearsall was removed for evaluation and made it back into the game in the fourth quarter, though he saw zero targets after his return. He finished the day with four catches on five targets and 46 receiving yards. The 49ers are scheduled to play the Rams on Thursday night, leaving Pearsall with less time than usual to recover. If he does miss the game, Demarcus Robinson and Kendrick Bourne can be expected to be more involved.
Sep 29, 2025 2:08 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) said that he exited in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars due to pain and instability in his right knee, according to David Lombardi of The Athletic. The second-year receiver entered this week with a knee issue, so it's possible that he re-aggravated that injury on Sunday afternoon. The 25-year-old didn't return to the contest after departing, finishing Week 4 with four catches for 46 yards. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status heading into a short week, as the 49ers take on the Los Angeles Rams this Thursday. Kendrick Bourne would likely operate as the No. 2 receiver behind Jauan Jennings if Pearsall is forced to miss time.
Sep 28, 2025 8:38 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars. After hauling in a pass in the third quarter, Pearsall exited to the sideline with a right knee injury. It's worth noting that Pearsall came into this game with a nagging knee injury. Possibly, the second-year wideout aggravated it. Before exiting, Pearsall hauled in four of his five targets for 46 yards. The absence of Pearsall should mean increased roles for Jauan Jennings, Kendrick Bourne, and Jake Tonges.
Sep 28, 2025 6:39 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) is officially active for Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction ahead of kickoff. Pearsall and Jauan Jennings (ankle, shoulder) are both healthy for Sunday's game, and they'll get a bit of a boost now that Brock Purdy (shoulder) is healthy enough to play for the first time since Week 1. Pearsall had 108 yards in his last game with Purdy, and he's averaging 94 yards per game this season, so we expect the second-year receiver to continue making a big impact Sunday. He ranks as a low-end WR2 versus Jacksonville.
Sep 28, 2025 3:45 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) is likely to be available when his team takes on the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 4, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The second-year receiver is listed as questionable on the injury report, but it appears as if he'll be able to play come game time Sunday. Pearsall has gone over 100 yards twice in three games this year, including a season-high eight catches for 117 yards last week in a win against Arizona. Pearsall is a high-quality WR3/Flex play against a suspect Jags pass defense.
Sep 28, 2025 7:11 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) is considered questionable to play in Week 4 on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to Cam Inman of the Bay Area News Group. Pearsall should be on the right side of questionable this weekend. The 25-year-old was active in the Week 3 win over the Arizona Cardinals before missing practice on Wednesday. The good news is that Pearsall was limited on both Thursday and Friday, which gives him a good chance to play on Sunday. Still, fantasy managers using Pearsall in a flex spot should check back in the late window on Sunday to confirm that he's active. Pearsall's fantasy value will likely hinge on the status of Jauan Jennings (ankle, shoulder), who is also questionable. He has 100-yard games sandwiched around a 4-56-0 line in Week 2. If Pearsall is active and Jennings misses a second straight game, Pearsall will be a strong fantasy play this weekend, especially with quarterback Brock Purdy (toe, shoulder) returning after a two-week absence.
Sep 26, 2025 5:37 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) was able to return to practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's practice with a knee injury, per David Lombardi of The San Francisco Standard. Pearsall appears to be trending towards playing in Week 4 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 25-year-old has his best game of the season in Week 3, posting eight catches for 117 yards against the Arizona Cardinals. Pearsall has recorded 16 catches for 281 yards on 24 targets through his first three games of the season. Assuming he can play on Sunday, Pearsall profiles as a low-end fantasy WR2 in Week 4 against Jacksonville.
Sep 25, 2025 4:43 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) isn't concerned about his availability for Week 4. Pearsall sat out Wednesday's practice with a knee issue, but the move appears precautionary, and he's expected to suit up against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The second-year receiver has been a breakout so far in 2025, posting 16 catches for 281 yards through three games. With quarterback Brock Purdy nearing a return (possibly this week), Pearsall could have his starting quarterback for just the second time this season. The Jaguars' defense has surrendered the sixth-most PPR fantasy points to wide receivers, with both Ja'Marr Chase and Nico Collins recording big outings against their secondary. Assuming he's ready to play, Pearsall should be considered a mid-range WR2 with upside, especially if Purdy is active.
