Entering Sunday, the 49ers had planned to slowly ease rookie receiver Ricky Pearsall into the fold but ended up relying on him due to injuries.
Coach Shanahan emphasized how much the plan changed when Deebo Samuel fell ill and Brandon Aiyuk suffered a potential torn ACL, prompting Pearsall to step up.
Pearsall managed to make three catches despite the team's overall poor offensive performance, highlighting the importance of maintaining his health for future games.
Shanahan criticized the offense's performance, noting they didn't convert a first down without a penalty until midway through the second quarter.
