Aug. 13 (UPI) -- San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall underwent knee surgery and targets a nine-month recovery, he announced Thursday on Instagram.
Pearsall injured the posterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during a Sept. 28 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He missed all or parts of 10 games during his 2025 campaign.
Pearsall, who missed six games in 2024 after being shot in the chest during an attempted robbery in San Francisco, totaled 36 catches for 528 yards last season.
He experienced swelling in his right knee after three training camp practices this summer, leading to his decision to have surgery. The 49ers placed Pearsall on season-ending injured reserve Aug. 1.
