Ricky Pearsall Returns to Practice, Nearing Week 11 Return for 49ers

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) participated in a limited practice on Wednesday, marking his first on-field activity since sustaining his injury in Week 4. Head Coach Kyle Shanahan indicated Pearsall is "trending toward a return" for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, adding, "They told me he is healthy, so I'll see today from my own eyes when he practices, and I'm sure he'll look that way. As long as he does, then he is good to go." Before his injury, Pearsall had a strong start to the season with receiving lines of 4-108-0, 4-56-0, and 8-117-0 in the first three weeks. While he returns to a more crowded pass-catching group, he is expected to maintain a significant role if healthy, making him a risk/reward WR3 for Week 11 fantasy lineups.
