"Pearsall was ruled out Saturday by the 49ers after reinjuring a PCL strain late in in their 37-24 win over the Tennessee Titans. He did not travel to Indianapolis and will remain behind to rehab with the hope of getting him back for their Dec. 28 home game against the Chicago Bears. He was close, but not close enough, 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said."
"General manager John Lynch, during his weekly radio spot on KNBR-680, pushed back on the idea that Pearsall is injury prone. So, he's just having one of those years, Lynch said. I think we can all see we're better [with him], and he's a huge part of our offense. Ricky's doing everything he can to get back on the field."
"Also out for the 49ers are cornerback Renardo Green (neck) and quarterback Kurtis Roarke (knee), with defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos (hamstring) questionable. Back at full strength and removed from the injury list entirely are middle linebacker Tatum Bethune and defensive end Sam Okuayinonu. Bethune will resume his role as a starter and defensive-play caller after making five starts when Fred Warner was lot to an ankle fracture."
Ricky Pearsall Jr. reinjured a PCL late in the 49ers' 37-24 win over the Titans and was ruled out for the upcoming game, remaining behind to rehab with a target return of Dec. 28 versus Chicago. Pearsall caught six passes for 96 yards in that game despite an earlier ankle sprain and has 31 receptions for 443 yards this season, but will miss his seventh game. Pearsall, a 2024 first-round pick, has faced prior setbacks including a preseason shooting and shoulder issues. General manager John Lynch defended Pearsall's value to the offense. Cornerback Renardo Green and quarterback Kurtis Roarke are also out, Yetur Gross-Matos is questionable, and Tatum Bethune and Sam Okuayinonu have returned to full strength; Bethune will resume starting and defensive-play-caller duties. A win over Indianapolis would clinch a playoff berth, with additional wins potentially securing the No. 1 seed and a first-round bye.
