Pearsall Out, Samuel Back | San Francisco 49ers News
Description
Ricky Pearsall’s 2026 season is officially over after being placed on Injured Reserve due to a torn PCL requiring surgery — a setback that emerged despite a strong offseason as training camp aggravated the injury. With Pearsall sidelined, the 49ers welcome back Deebo Samuel Sr., who returns on a one-year deal worth up to $7 million, adding crucial experience and depth to the receiving corps. While Pearsall had shown flashes of brilliance last year despite playing through pain, his recovery didn’t hold up under NFL intensity. Now, the focus shifts to how Samuel and the rest of the receivers will rise to fill the void — and keep the Niners competitive in a loaded NFC West.
