The San Francisco 49ers announced on August 1 that wide receiver Ricky Pearsall is being placed on season-ending Injured Reserve due to a PCL injury. General manager John Lynch confirmed Pearsall will undergo surgery, with recovery expected to take 6 to 12 months. The team had anticipated his injury would improve without surgery, but after a few practices, it became clear that was not the case. Pearsall has now faced significant injury issues in each of his first three NFL seasons. To fill the roster gap, the 49ers officially signed Deebo Samuel to a one-year deal.
