Fans may be witnessing second-year wide receiver Ricky Pearsall's breakout into stardom.
The San Francisco 49ers clearly felt their offensive injury-related shortages in Week 3's low-scoring NFC West affair against the Arizona Cardinals. With veteran top receiver Brandon Aiyuk still on injured reserve after last year's ACL and MCL tears, plus tight end George Kittle (hamstring) also on IR, head coach Kyle Shanahan has been forced to juggle his wideout room to make up for the slack.
And things weren't made easier in Week 3 with another top pass-catching weapon, wide receiver Jauan Jennings, inactive with shoulder and ankle injuries.
