49ers receiver Ricky Pearsall undergoes season-ending knee surgery

Summary

Ricky Pearsall of the San Francisco 49ers is set for knee surgery, ruling him out for the entire 2026 NFL season. The decision comes after Pearsall has been hampered by a PCL injury, which he sustained last year. Pearsall previously faced a serious incident in 2024 when he was shot during an attempted robbery. After a promising start to his NFL career, including a notable performance in Week 17 of his rookie season, this latest injury is a setback. Pearsall is expected to return to full health for the 2027 season.
