Ricky Pearsall Out After Suffering Injury in Preseason

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall was lost to injury during the preseason, compounding depth issues for the team's receiving corps. Along with subsequent injuries to De'Zhaun Stribling in Week 1 and Demarcus Robinson in Week 2, Pearsall's absence left the 49ers heavily depleted at wide receiver and forced head coach Kyle Shanahan to scour the market for veteran additions like Brandin Cooks.
