At long last, Ricky Pearsall seems set to get back on the field for the San Francisco 49ers this Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.
After a strong start to his second season, the former Florida Gator suffered a sprained PCL in his right knee during the Niners' Week 4 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars and has been sidelined ever since. San Francisco had the option to place him on injured reserve, but opted not to do so, believing he'd heal somewhat quickly, which obviously didn't happen.
Pearsall has been getting some side-field work in over the past couple of weeks, and on Monday, head coach Kyle Shanahan said he was hopeful Pearsall could return to practice on Wednesday.
