For a third straight training camp, Ricky Pearsall is inactive due to an injury. NBC Sports Bay Area's Matt Maiocco revealed to Bay Area radio station KNBR why Pearsall avoided offseason surgery. I think it's reasonable, rational, logical, for the 49ers to NOT expect Ricky Pearsall to make any contribution in 2026. "@MaioccoNBCS says the Niners could be preparing for Ricky Pearsall to miss the entirety of the 2026 season. Maybe Pearsall getting surgery in the offseason would've been fine for him to return in October.
