49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Held catchless Sunday
Ricky Pearsall failed to bring in either of his two targets in Sunday's 20-17 loss to Seattle.Pearsall was nowhere to be seen on Sunday after scoring the first touchdown of his professional career Week 10. The rookie still logged a healthy 37 snaps on offense (59 percent), but he didn't receive nearly as many targets as a week prior (six). Pearsall should continue seeing a handful of targets while operating as the San Francisco 49ers' No. 3 receiver behind Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings against the Packers next Sunday.

49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Scores first career TD
Ricky Pearsall had four receptions (six targets) for 74 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-20 win over Tampa Bay.Pearsall got the scoring started in the first quarter when he took a deep pass from Brock Purdy for 46 yards while extending the ball for the first touchdown of his professional career. The 24-year-old Pearsall served as the team's third wideout behind Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings, but the rookie was the only one of the three to get into the end zone. Pearsall appears to be gaining confidence in head coach Kyle Shanahan's offense as the team prepares to take on the Seahawks next Sunday.

49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Gains 77 yards on SNF
Ricky Pearsall had four receptions on as many targets for 38 yards while adding a 39-yard rush in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Cowboys.Pearsall followed his pro debut last week against Kansas City with 78 combined yards against Dallas on Sunday Night Football. The first-round rookie was more involved in his second game, garnering five touches after starting wideout Deebo Samuel (ribs) exited Sunday's victory for an already depleted receiver room. The San Francisco 49ers will have the upcoming bye week to get healthy, so Pearsall may not be needed the way he was in Sunday's victory. That said, the rookie is worth a roster spot in most formats in the event San Francisco needs to rely on Pearsall following Brandon Aiyuk's (knee) season-ending injury and Samuel's uncertain status for Nov. 10 against Tampa Bay.

49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Makes NFL debut Sunday
Ricky Pearsall (chest) made his pro debut in Sunday's 28-18 loss to the Chiefs, grabbing three receptions for 21 yards off of five targets in Sunday's 28-18 loss to the Chiefs.Pearsall triumphantly made his NFL debut after suffering a natural injury to his left shoulder this preseason and then surviving a gunshot wound to the other shoulder from an off-field incident. The 2024 first-round selection saw his usage increase in the second half after starter Brandon Aiyuk went down with what is being feared as an ACL tear in the loss. Pearsall still has to make up for lost time before being fully integrated into head coach Kyle Shanahan's offense, but the rookie is certainly worth a look if Aiyuk's injury proves to be serious ahead of next Sunday's tilt against Dallas.

49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Making NFL debut
Ricky Pearsall (chest) is listed as active Sunday against the Chiefs.Pearsall thus will make his long-awaited NFL debut after enduring a gunshot wound during an attempted robbery Aug. 31 that resulted in him spending the first six weeks of the campaign on the reserve/non-football injury list. With Jauan Jennings (hip) sidelined, Pearsall will have a chance to mix into the San Francisco 49ers offense, but the team may prefer the veteran presence of Chris Conley as the No. 3 WR behind Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk for this high-profile matchup.

49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Set for NFL debut
Ricky Pearsall (chest) remains listed as questionable but is on track to make his NFL debut in Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Jay Glazer on Fox Sports reports.Pearsall (chest) was activated off the reserve/non-football injury list Saturday after he turned in a trio of full practices during Week 7 prep. With Jauan Jennings (hip) ruled out, Pearsall could get playing time on offense right away and challenge Chris Conley for the No. 3 receiver role behind Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk.

49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Poised for season debut
Ricky Pearsall (chest) was activated off the reserve/non-football injury list Saturday, but he remains questionable for Sunday's contest against the Chiefs, Field Yates of ESPN reports.This was reported Friday, but the San Francisco 49ers made it official with this transaction. With Jauan Jennings (hip) out ahead of the Super Bowl rematch, it'll be interesting to see how much work Pearsall will get right out of the gate. Chris Conley, the projected No. 3 target, is a capable veteran, but Pearsall, the team's 2024 first-round pick, was reportedly back working out only a few short weeks after suffering a gunshot wound during an attempted robbery Aug. 31, and San Francisco might be comfortable deploying its intriguing prospect as prominently as it can in this must-watch matchup.

49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Set for activation
Ricky Pearsall (chest) doesn't have an injury designation and is expected to be activated for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.It's good timing for the San Francisco 49ers with No. 3 receiver Jauan Jennings (hip) out for the first time this season, but they may prefer veteran Chris Conley over Pearsall as the regular replacement. Pearsall was a full practice participant all week and apparently will be activated from the reserve/non-football injury list before Sunday.

49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Another full practice Thursday
Ricky Pearsall (chest) practiced fully Thursday.As for the rest of the San Francisco 49ers' receiving corps, Deebo Samuel (wrist) again was limited Thursday while wearing a blue non-contract jersey, and Jauan Jennings (hip) has yet to practice this week. That marks two of the team's top three wide receivers, which may spur San Francisco to get Pearsall back on the active roster for the first time since Sept. 2. Friday's injury report will unveil whether he has a designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs, but the 49ers will need to activate him from the reserve/non-football injury list by 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday in order for the rookie first-round pick to have a chance to play this weekend.

49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Logs full practice Wednesday
Ricky Pearsall (chest) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.After the San Francisco 49ers designated him to return from the reserve/non-football injury list Monday, Pearsall managed to handle every rep in his first official practice since he sustained gunshot wound during an attempted robbery Aug. 31. Currently, the team has a 21-day window in which to evaluate the rookie first-rounder and add him back to the active roster. With Deebo Samuel (wrist) a limited participant and Jauan Jennings (hip) not practicing Wednesday, there may be reason for San Francisco to need reinforcements at wide receiver Sunday against the Chiefs.
