Ricky Pearsall Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe) did not practice on Tuesday. "I feel a lot better compared to the Week 1 game," Purdy said. "Toe is just a little sore from the game, but nowhere near as bad as after Seattle (in Week 1)." Purdy did not say whether he expects to play vs. the Rams on Thursday night, though. We'll see if he practices tomorrow and how he's listed on the final injury report. WRs Ricky Pearsall (knee) and WR Jauan Jennings (ankle, rib) also missed Wednesday's practice.

49ers WR Ricky Pearsall is iffy for Thursday night's game against the Rams after injuring his right knee in the Week 4 loss to the Jaguars. (He dealt with soreness in his left knee last week.) Pearsall spent some time in the medical tent after landing hard on his knee yesterday. He tried to return but lasted just one play before exiting again. "I fell pretty hard on my knee," Pearsall said afterward. "I was just feeling pain and a little bit of instability. I wasn't trying to mess with it." Shanahan on Pearsall on Monday: "They're thinking more of a minor PCL or something like that is what our guess is, just landing on it hard. Hopefully it won't be too bad. Obviously, a huge concern with the Thursday night game and stuff, but we're not expecting it to be too bad." We'll keep you updated on Pearsall over the next few days, but fantasy owners should have another option lined up for Week 5.

After missing 2 games, Brock Purdy returned to action, throwing for 309 yards with 2 TDs and 2 INTs in San Francisco's 26-21 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He also had 13 rushing yards on 2 carries.

Turnovers ultimately unraveled the Niners. In addition to a pair of interceptions, Purdy lost one of the two fumbles that the Jaguars recovered.

49ers WR Ricky Pearsall is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars with a knee injury. This is presumably the same issue that had him listed as questionable heading into this one. We'll pass along an update when we get one.

Update: Pearsall returned in the fourth quarter.

49ers WRs Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Jauan Jennings (ankle, shoulder) are active for today’s game vs. the Jaguars. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported this morning that Jennings is “likely” to be limited, so we’d try to leave him on fantasy benches. Pearsall carries elevated risk with the knee issue but still checks in as a top-24 WR in the Week 4 rankings. WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling is a healthy scratch with WR Demarcus Robinson making his 2025 debut.

49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) is expected to play vs. the Jaguars today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Pearsall got in just two limited practices this week and is listed as questionable, so there's elevated risk here. But Schefter notably said teammate WR Jauan Jennings is "likely" to be limited today, while making no such comment on Pearsall. We'll look for further updates on his status, but Pearsall belongs in most Week 4 fantasy lineups. See where he sits in the WR rankings.

49ers WRs Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Jauan Jennings (ankle, shoulder) are listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars. Pearsall got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday and seems like the better bet to play. Jennings got in just a limited practice on Friday after missing Week 3 with these injuries. Hopefully we get updates on these guys on Sunday morning. We won't get San Francisco's inactives until a little after 2:30 pm ET.

49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. That should have him on track to play vs. the Jaguars this weekend, but we'll update his status again tomorrow. WR Jauan Jennings (ankle, shoulder) remained sidelined on Thursday and is in danger of missing his second straight game.

49ers WRs Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Jauan Jennings (ankle, shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. Pearsall appeared to bang his knee on a 4th-and-2 catch in last week's win over the Cardinals but was able to finish out the game. "Hopefully he'll get better later in the week," HC Kyle Shanahan said. Jennings missed Week 3 and remains uncertain for this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars. Check back tomorrow for an update on both guys.

49ers WR Ricky Pearsall exploded with eight catches for 117 yards against the Arizona Cardinals, taking advantage of WR Jauan Jennings missing the game. QB Mac Jones relied on Pearsall as a reliable short-range target while the offense schemed up a few touches as well.

49ers WR Jauan Jennings (ankle, shoulder) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Cardinals. Ricky Pearsall will operate as the clear No. 1 WR and is a strong fantasy start.

49ers WR Jauan Jennings (ankle, shoulder) will not play vs. the Cardinals this afternoon, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. So San Francisco will be without Jennings, WR Brandon Aiyuk, and TE George Kittle. Expect RB Christian McCaffrey and WR Ricky Pearsall to be the focal points of the offense. It'll be WRs Kendrick Bourne, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Russell Gage, and Skyy Moore behind Pearsall.

49ers WR Jauan Jennings (ankle, shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Cardinals. He did not practice all week. That would make Jennings a risky fantasy play if he suits up. If not, San Francisco would be down to WRs Kendrick Bourne, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Skyy Moore behind No. 1 Ricky Pearsall.

49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe, shoulder) is a "long shot" to play vs. the Saints this weekend, HC Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday. Shanahan added that Purdy could be looking at a multi-week absence. SI's Grant Cohn hears that the team is expecting Purdy to miss two games. His absence will leave QB Mac Jones under center.

The 49ers placed TE George Kittle on Injured Reserve. Kittle will miss a minimum of 4 games.

WR Ricky Pearsall tallied 108 yards on four catches in Sunday's win over the Seahawks. A 45-yard, fourth-quarter play gave that receiving line a big boost, but Pearsall easily led his WR corps in playing time, usage, and production. His seven targets trailed only Christian McCaffrey (10). Pearsall's 84% snap share led his nearest WR teammate by nearly 20 percentage points. He ran a route on 89.7% of Brock Purdy dropbacks as one of just three 49ers to eclipse 20 routes. Jauan Jennings checked in second among that group and caught two of his five targets before leaving with a shoulder injury in the fourth quarter.

The San Francisco 49ers have placed WR Brandon Aiyuk on the PUP list, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. He’ll miss at least the four weeks of the season.

49ers HC Kyle Shanahan gave a cautiously optimistic answer when asked Saturday whether WR Jauan Jennings will be ready for Week 1. "I expect him to be back, he should be back from it. But you never know with a calf," Shanahan said.
