49ers WR Pearsall Sidelined; Samuel Off Roster

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall is being held out of offseason activities due to a minor hamstring injury and is expected to return at training camp. Pearsall, now entering his second NFL season, is under increased scrutiny for durability after multiple hamstring issues and missing significant time last year, including from a gunshot wound sustained during an attempted robbery. With Brandon Aiyuk still recovering from a serious knee injury and Deebo Samuel no longer on the roster, Pearsall is projected to play a major role in the receiving corps. The 49ers are being cautious, aiming for Pearsall to recover fully and emerge as a key target for quarterback Brock Purdy. Missing OTAs is not expected to hinder his long-term prospects if he stays healthy for camp. The team is hopeful this setback will not persist and impact their offensive plans.
