Ricky Pearsall’s 2026 season is officially over after surgery to repair a torn PCL in his right knee — a setback that began haunting him since Week 4 of last year. Despite hopes for rest, swelling during training camp forced the move to full reconstruction. At just 25, he’s facing a nine-month rehab road but carries peace, focusing on every step toward returning in 2027. The former first-round pick, who missed time as a rookie due to a non-football injury and only played nine games last year battling hamstring and knee issues, now embraces the grind. For a player who never missed a game due to football-related injury before, this is a crushing blow — but he’s determined to conquer recovery, one day at a time. With depth at receiver, his 49ers future hinges on how well he rebounds in 2027.
