49ers plan to place WR Ricky Pearsall on season-ending IR
Summary

The San Francisco 49ers are expected to place wide receiver Ricky Pearsall on season-ending injured reserve due to a knee injury. Pearsall, who was the team's first-round pick in 2024, has been dealing with a PCL injury since last season and will undergo surgery after missing half of the 2025 campaign. General manager John Lynch confirmed that Pearsall's condition necessitates the procedure, but he is anticipated to make a full recovery. This injury further challenges the 49ers as they prepare for the upcoming season amid stiff competition in the NFC West.
