Ricky Pearsall - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Ricky Pearsall's disappearing act vs. Seahawks was the worst thing possible The 49ers sorely needed Ricky Pearsall to step up in the playoffs against the Seahawks, but his lack of impact was disastrous.

No catches in return Pearsall did not record a catch on two targets in Saturday's 41-6 divisional-round loss to the Seahawks.

Impact Pearsall missed San Francisco's last two games with a knee injury that has plagued him for much of the season, though he managed to return after logging limited practices throughout the week. The 49ers seemingly made an effort to get him involved early with a target on the first play from scrimmage, though he ultimately wasn't prioritized in the offense. Pearsall was a popular breakout candidate in 2025, but the knee issue ultimately robbed him of the opportunity. If he is able to stay healthy heading into the 2026 season, he should still have the chance to be a priority in the offense.

Back in action Saturday Pearsall (knee) is listed as active Saturday in Seattle, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.

Impact Pearsall thus will be making only his second appearance since Week 15 due to the PCL injury that has forced nine absences this season, including last Sunday's wild-card win at Philadelphia. The 49ers lost TE George Kittle to a torn Achilles in that contest, so a few more targets will be available to the rest of the team's pass catchers Saturday. In five contests in the second half of the campaign, Pearsall hauled in 16 of 24 targets for 201 yards and no touchdowns.

Fred Warner OUT, Ricky Pearsall Questionable vs. Seahawks; Injury Report Ahead of #SFvsSEA The San Francisco 49ers released their latest injury updates headed into the Divisional Round contest against the Seattle Seahawks.

3 DAYS AGO • 49ERS.COM

Questionable for Saturday Pearsall (knee) will be listed as questionable for Saturday's divisional-round game against the Seahawks, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact Pearsall, who continues to manage a PCL injury in his right knee, was inactive in Weeks 16 and 18 as well as the 49ers' wild-card win over the Eagles this past Sunday. For his part, the wideout who has been able to practice in a limited fashion this week, is optimistic that he'll play Saturday, per Vic Tafur of The Athletic, but given his official 'questionable' designation, Pearsall's status will still need to be monitored ahead of his team's 8:00 p.m ET kickoff.

Limited again Wednesday Pearsall (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Pearsall sat out Weeks 16 and 18 and also the 49ers' wild-card victory at Philadelphia this past Sunday due to the lingering PCL injury in his right knee. He followed up Tuesday's limited walkthrough with a capped session one day later, giving him one more chance to get back to full before the weekend. For what it's worth, Pearsall told Vic Tafur of The Athletic on Wednesday that his knee "feels fine" and that he's optimistic that he'll play Saturday in Seattle, but it remains to be seen if the 49ers tag with a designation for the divisional-round contest.

49ers' Ricky Pearsall shares good news on status for playoff game vs. Seahawks | Sporting News The 49ers might be getting one of their top receivers back in the Divisional round.

Officially listed as limited Pearsall (knee/ankle) was officially estimated as limited in Tuesday's walkthrough practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Pearsall's limited listing confirms the comments head coach Kyle Shanahan made Tuesday morning. The 49ers held a walkthrough session Tuesday, so Pearsall's activity level is only an estimate, but it appears he's ready to retake the practice field for the first time since Dec. 31, which lends optimism to the notion that he could be available for Saturday's divisional-round matchup in Seattle. He's managing an ankle injury in addition to an aggravated PCL sprain in his right knee. With standout tight end George Kittle having suffered a season-ending Achilles tear during San Francisco's wild-card round win over Philadelphia, it would be a notable boost for this receiving corps if Pearsall is able to get back in the starting lineup.

Set for limited practice San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said that Pearsall (knee/ankle) will be listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Pearsall didn't practice in any fashion over the past two weeks after aggravating a right knee PCL injury in addition to injuring his ankle, but the wideout looks like he'll be ready to take a step forward in activity as the 49ers gear up for a divisional-round playoff matchup with the Seahawks on Saturday. The 49ers will see how Pearsall progresses throughout the week before a determination is made on his status for Saturday's game, but if available, he'll provide quarterback Brock Purdy with another weapon in the passing game. San Francisco will have some extra targets up for grabs this weekend after star tight end George Kittle suffered a season-ending torn Achilles tendon in the 49ers' wild-card win over the Eagles.
