It has been a busy day of wide receiver news for the 49ers.

The 49ers selected Pearsall out of Florida at No. 31 overall in the 2024 NFL Draft, using their first-round pick on the versatile pass-catcher known as “Slick Rick.” Pearsall and the rest of San Francisco’s rookies reported to training camp Tuesday, a week ahead of the team’s veterans.
While the extent of Pearsall’s injury is unknown, NBC Sports Bay Area’s Matt Maiocco noted that it doesn’t seem serious.

With uncertainty surrounding Aiyuk, it remains to be seen what kind of role Pearsall will play with the 49ers during the 2024 NFL season. But regardless of how much he’ll play as a rookie, the 49ers certainly hope the young wide receiver makes a swift recovery.
