Should I Start Ricky Pearsall?

Ricky Pearsall Working on Side Field on Thursday

Thursday, January 8, 5:08 PM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee, ankle) was seen on a side field during Thursday's practice, according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Pearsall is going to go down as a non-participant in practice for the second straight day, which doesn't bode well for his availability on Sunday in the Wild-Card playoff game on the road against the Philadelphia Eagles. The 25-year-old missed six games earlier this year due to a PCL sprain in his right knee, and he aggravated the injury in Week 17. The former first-rounder did not play in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Seattle Seahawks last Saturday and is on the wrong side of questionable to be active for the first round of the playoffs. If Pearsall misses Sunday's game, Jauan Jennings, Demarcus Robinson, and Kendrick Bourne could all see more targets in the passing game in a tough matchup against Philly's defense.
