The 49ers are already shorthanded at wide receiver, so Ricky Pearsall missing the first few days of training camp wasn't exactly ideal news.
The San Francisco 49ers' wide receiver room had the potential to be very problematic, not just in training camp but also into the early stages of the regular season.
With No. 1 receiver Brandon Aiyuk still recovering from last year's ACL and MCL tears, news of second-year pro Ricky Pearsall dealing with a hamstring issue that forced him to land on the physically unable-to-perform (PUP) list wasn't ideal.
