49ers WR Ricky Pearsall to undergo season-ending knee surgery
John Lynch said the surgery ends Pearsall’s season, and the 49ers signed Deebo Samuel to fill the roster spot.
- On Saturday, San Francisco 49ers General Manager John Lynch announced that wide receiver Ricky Pearsall will undergo season-ending surgery to repair a PCL injury sustained last season.
- Recurring injuries have significantly slowed the 2024 first-round pick's development, as Pearsall has already missed 14 games over his first two NFL seasons due to various ailments.
- The 49ers signed former All-Pro Deebo Samuel to a one-year, $7 million contract to fill the roster spot after Samuel spent the 2025 season with the Washington Commanders.
- Lynch confirmed that Samuel will see time in the return game, at receiver, and at running back, stating, "You are going to see him in the return game."
- Recovery is expected to take nine to 12 months, positioning Pearsall for potential 2027 training camp readiness while the team evaluates his future based on a two-year sample size.
