49ers bring back Deebo Samuel amid Ricky Pearsall injury concerns

Summary

The San Francisco 49ers have re-signed wide receiver Deebo Samuel to a one-year contract as concern grows over Ricky Pearsall's PCL injury. The 49ers are reportedly worried that Pearsall may miss the entire 2026 season due to swelling related to his previous injury. In other training camp news, Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs and Falcons running back Bijan Robinson are both seeking new contracts while participating in camp. Panthers rookie Chris Brazzell is sidelined for the season following an LCL tear, and a QB competition is unfolding in Minnesota between J.J. McCarthy and Kyler Murray.
