With Pearsall sidelined for Monday's road contest, Kendrick Bourne and Demarcus Robinson will step into larger roles on offense.

Ricky Pearsall (knee/ankle) isn't practicing Friday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.Pearsall came out of last week's strong showing with a pair of injuries, including an aggravation of the PCL injury that cost him Weeks 5-10 earlier this season.

49ers' Ricky Pearsall: No practice Thursday
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Ricky Pearsall (knee/ankle) won't practice Thursday, but the wide receiver is feeling much better and has a chance to play Monday at Indianapolis, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.Coming out of the San Francisco 49ers' Week 14 bye, Pearsall had his first signature performance since the first month of the season, when he hauled in six of seven targets for 96 yards during this past Sunday's win against the Titans. Afterward, Shanahan relayed that Pearsall was dealing with a low-ankle sprain and also had aggravated the previous PCL injury that sidelined him for Weeks 5-10. Pearsall will have two more chances to prove his health this week before the 49ers likely tag him with a designation for Week 16 action.

49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Managing ankle and knee injuries
San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Ricky Pearsall played through ankle and knee injuries during Sunday's 37-24 win over Tennessee, Mike Masala of USA Today reports.Shanahan said an update on Pearsall's health will arrive Monday and that the wide receiver "hurt the ankle on the first play and returned and played with that the whole game" Sunday, while his knee injury was "most likely irritating his PCL from the past." Pearsall secured six of seven targets for 96 yards versus the Titans, more production than in his last three appearances combined, but fantasy managers now will have to monitor his health heading into a Week 16 road matchup against the Colts. Shanahan, at least, said he expects Pearsall "to be alright."

49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Returns to form Sunday
Ricky Pearsall hauled in six of seven targets for 96 yards in Sunday's 37-24 win over Tennessee.Pearsall led San Francisco in receiving yards for the first time since returning from a knee injury he suffered back in Week 4. The 2024 first-round pick had amassed just five receptions for 20 yards over his last three appearances combined, so Sunday's strong showing may be a sign that the receiver is finally back to full strength. Pearsall will attempt to build off this performance when the San Francisco 49ers visit the Colts for Monday Night Football in Week 16.

49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Just two catches in Cleveland
Ricky Pearsall caught two of three targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 26-8 win over the Browns.High winds in Cleveland nerfed both passing attacks, and tight ends George Kittle and Harold Fannin ended up being the leading pass catchers for their respective squads. Pearsall hasn't been able to make much of an impact even in better conditions since returning from a knee injury however, and over the last three games he's managed just a 5-20-0 line on nine targets. The second-year wideout will get the San Francisco 49ers' bye week to reset before taking on the Titans in Week 15.

49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Held to eight yards Monday
Ricky Pearsall finished with two receptions (on four targets) for six yards while taking one carry for two yards in Monday's 20-9 win over the Panthers.Pearsall was held to single-digit yardage for the second consecutive appearance since returning from a six-game absence as the result of a knee injury. At least the 2024 first-round selection got more involved than he was in last week's one-catch, zero-yard outing, garnering three combined touches in the primetime win. It is worth noting that QB Brock Purdy was targeting Pearsall on two of his three interceptions Monday, with one of the passes attempting to connect in the end zone. It is hard to feel confident about the 24-year-old wideout following a pair of duds, but it would be shortsighted for fantasy managers to cut ties at this point. Pearsall possesses elite skills and remains a starter for a high-scoring offense, so better days are surely on the horizon.

49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Just one catch in return
Ricky Pearsall (knee) had one reception on three targets for no gain in Sunday's 41-22 win over the Cardinals.Pearsall returned to the starting lineup after missing the San Francisco 49ers' last five contests with a right knee injury. That's where the positive news ends after the sophomore wideout failed to gain a yard with his only touch Sunday. Jauan Jennings (5-54-0) was the only other wide receiver to finish with more targets than Pearsall, so the latter's lack of involvement was likely due to an unfavorable game script. QB Brock Purdy did take a deep shot at Pearsall on one of the duo's two missed connections, and the wideout showed his usual burst down the field despite the good defensive coverage. Pearsall averaged 5.0 receptions and 81.8 yards in the four games he appeared in prior to getting injured, so there is hope for improved results against the Panthers next Monday.

49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Returning to action Sunday
Ricky Pearsall (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.Pearsall hasn't played in a game since Sept. 28 and was absent from practice for well over a month, but coach Kyle Shanahan's track record suggests the second-year wideout could jump right back into a significant workload. Unlike earlier this season, Pearsall will be part of an offense that has both Jauan Jennings and George Kittle healthy. Pearsall opened the season with 327 yards on 29 targets in less than four full games before suffering the PCL injury Week 4.
