The San Francisco 49ers opened training camp on August 2, 2026, grappling with several injuries. Top draft pick De’Zhaun Stribling missed practice due to hamstring tightness, while Ricky Pearsall was placed on season-ending IR due to a PCL injury. Coach Kyle Shanahan addressed the team for the first time since a recent car accident, receiving a warm welcome. The team is optimistic about Pearsall's recovery, hoping he can return in 2027. With other wide receivers banged up, Stribling's absence presents opportunities for other players, including undrafted free agent Wesley Grimes.
