49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall is absent from organized team activities due to a hamstring tweak, with coach Kyle Shanahan indicating he likely won’t return until training camp. The 24-year-old aims for a stronger second season after recording 31 catches for 400 yards and three touchdowns as a rookie. Pearsall previously missed the first six weeks of the season due to a gunshot wound sustained during an attempted robbery. He is expected to start alongside Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings, despite Aiyuk experiencing a severe knee injury during Pearsall’s debut game against the Chiefs.
