The San Francisco 49ers could soon be without wide receiver Ricky Pearsall due to a recurring PCL injury. Pearsall missed eight games last season and is currently experiencing swelling related to the same injury. In light of his potential absence, the team may consider a reunion with Deebo Samuel, who was traded to the Washington Commanders last offseason. The 49ers are exploring options to strengthen their wide receiver corps, which currently includes veterans like Mike Evans and Christian Kirk. If Pearsall's injury results in significant time away from the field, a move for Samuel could provide valuable depth.
