Pearsall Returns to Limited Practice, Optimism for Playoff Game

49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee/ankle) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough, marking his first practice since Dec. 31. He's managing an aggravated right knee PCL and ankle injury. This is an upgrade from last week when he missed all practices. His return generates optimism for his availability in Saturday's divisional-round playoff matchup against the Seahawks. With George Kittle sidelined by an Achilles tear, Pearsall's presence would be a crucial boost for the San Francisco receiving corps.
